If you're not into pickling them, I really love smashed cucumber salad (tons of variations but sichuan/ mala is my favorite www.seriouseats.com/sichuan-styl...) or a cold cucumber soup with mint, or basil, or whatever as long as it has enough salt and acid
That salad looks delicious! You also reminded me that I used to have a lovely chilled cucumber and yogurt soup recipe, and I have no idea where it went.
I like pickles, but I've never pickled my own cucumbers, and (don't tell her) my mom's recipe isn't my favorite. I wouldn't mind trying a refrigerator pickle recipe, so I don't have to mess with canning.
I've used a variation of this Chef John recipe for years, just with less sugar. Found success with a lot of kimchi recipes Big fan of Sunomono as well www.allrecipes.com/recipe/23923... www.foodandwine.com/recipes/quic...
