Easter Eggs, Zucchini & Cucumbers

It is not necessary to ask what these things have in common to anyone who has searched for them. Each plant can be thoroughly searched and still a couple will get away until they resemble watermelons. They are still good to eat in most cases, but the seeds are big and hard and have to be removed.

A good way to use overgrown cucumbers is in “cucumber salad”, sometimes called refrigerator pickles. Scrape the seeds from the cucumber and slice the cucumber into the thickness that is preferred. Chop some onions. Mix the two in the ratio that suits your own palette. Cover them in a jar with a blend of half salt water and half cider vinegar. Leave them in the refrigerator at least overnight.

The flavor of the onions and cucumbers blends with that of the salt and vinegar. Eat the mixture as a side dish or as a delicious addition to any garden salad. If you are really good and finding the cucumbers before they get huge, this can be made with normal sized fruits.
