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 ? |

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. |

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 |

I did Gazpacho the other night. |

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. |
