Yes, Virginia, you can eat cooked cucumbers. (Goodness, am I the only one old enough to get that reference?)
Probably 2 years ago I put out a recipe that called for adding peeled chunks of cucumber to a stir fry. You put them in just at the last minute and cook only until the cucumbers are heated through, stopping before they lose their crunch. Really delicious.
And we’ve a recipe or two for cold cucumber soups, usually yogurt- or buttermilk-based, and with the cucumbers used raw. This recipe for a soup with cooked cucumbers is from Paige Witherington of Serenbe Farms. She adapted it from “Home Made” by Yvette Van Boven.
A classic potato salad recipe from Southern Living. Sometimes it’s good to be reminded that there’s a reason the classics are just that.
This recipe comes from the March 2013 edition of Fine Cooking magazine. The combination of olive oil, lemon, anchovy and garlic is one of my favorite marinades for any kind of grilling. If you have a little time, you can use the vinaigrette to marinate the chicken for up to 4 hours before grilling. Delicious.

This recipe is adapted from “Herbivoracious” by Michael Natkin. Got basil pesto on hand, or some other version? Use that.
This last recipe is an adaptation of one from Marc Sommers, executive chef of Parsley’s Custom Catering in Kennesaw, who demonstrated it at the Morningside Farmers Market a year or so ago. He says he “borrowed” this recipe from his Belarusian mother-in-law. I just had a beet-and-potato salad at an Ethiopian restaurant last night and I can’t wait to try this one.
This recipe came from this June’s Bon Appetit. Feel free to chop up one of your Riverview onions in place of the green onions called for here.
This recipe comes from Martha Stewart by way of Serious Eats. Love the idea of grilling potatoes.
Adapted from a recipe that came originally from The Splendid Table.
