gaddy:
What ya all doing with your harvest ? One of the things we do is seed and chunk the cucumbers and tomatoes, equal parts, then add small cubes of sharp cheddar cheese and toss in the fridge. A bit of sea salt and cracked black at serving time  :tup: Makes for a nice cold side dish.
Wife's been playing with adding chopped olives. Or chopped sweet peppers and oil and vinegar dressing. Not a fan there but experimenting is a good thing yes?
She also slices a bunch of cuc's and onions and soaks them over night in salt water,  drains, mixes up a vinegar/water solution and soaks them in that in the fridge for a day. Good stuff.
What you got ?
Remnar:
Some similar things . Cukes,tomatoes,fresh basil,olive oil, salt,pepper,pinch of sugar , little red wine vinegar,and fresh mozzarella balls .

Another . cukes,walla walla onoin, seasoned rice vinegar, little water, dash of salt.let set for a few hours to overnight

I havent made these in awhile but used to all the time. Might have to make one as it sounds pretty good . Veggie sandwiches . Bread of choice (I prefer homemade white or real whole wheat) generous slather of mayo on both slices of bread, cukes,tomatoe, walla wallas , leaf lettuce and a thick slice of sharp cheddar .

Fried green tomatoes are a must every year for me.
Fletch:
I also do about the same, sometimes use feta cheese too.  I can alot of tomatoes into salsa, juice etc and eat a lot of fresh cukes or cukes, onions with vinegar and sour cream etc.  There is also the inevitable run of BLT's that I cant avoid.  :chuckle: its hard to beat the fresh vegetables this time of year
jay.sharkbait:
I did Gazpacho the other night.
Southpole:
I 2nd the rice vinegar as well. Bruschetta and fresh marinara sauce starts rearing it’s head at our house around this time as well.
