So, its that time of year here in Central Florida, my garden is coming in with a vengeance.
I have everything in hand, except for the slicing cucumbers.
Anyone have ideas beyond the usual cucumber salad, on top of green salad, raita sauce and tzatziki sauce?
Help, they're about to take over the kitchen!

My mom's cucumber salad:
3 cucumbers peeled and sliced very thin
1/2 cup sour cream
1 tbsp onion powder
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
Mix all ingredients togther in a bowl, You may need more sour cream. Cucumbers hold alot of water so it might be a little watery. You could substitute the onion powder for fresh sliced sweet onions if you like.
