We like to peel strips of the skin off but leave other strips of the skin on for another pretty 'striped' effect.

An easy trick to removing the seeds from the cukes is to simply slice the cucumber lengthwise down the middle, and then just grab a small spoon, or melon baller, and easily scrape out the center.
Removing the seeds isn't required, but we think it makes the final texture better and it also makes for an attractive-looking dish!
Be gone, seeds!

After scooping out the seeds, all you have to do is slice the cucumber into 1/4-inch slices.

FRESH CUCUMBERS ARE PERFECT FOR AN EASY SUMMER SALAD
We just love everything about cucumbers. Especially Wesley. He always tells me about how as a young Loon, he would sit in front of a cool, loud, and rickety electric fan in the hot South Dakota summer heat while eating a whole cucumber one bite at a time.
The only addition to the refreshing treat would be the occasional dash of the salt shaker.
Oh, my Loon. He knows how to find the good things in life.
