Peel, seed and slice the cucumbers and place on salad plates. Evenly sprinkle with feta, season with salt & pepper, shake dressing, drizzle dressing over salad and serve.

*They would also be good diced in just about any cold pasta salad.

*You can also Google for 'Freezer Dills' recipes. ;-)

Did you mean for a quick salad or for preserving them? I peel and slice them then add some ranch dressing and let them sit for awhile. That is how we like them.

Our local Oriental restaurant makes cucumber Kim-Chee, very delicious! There are several recipes online, just pick whichever one is easiest.

Cucumbers and Onions
1 large cucumber; peeled, sliced

Add the cucumbers and onions. (You may have to double or triple the vinegar and sugar in order for the liquid to cover the cukes and onions.) Cover and refrigerate a couple of hours before serving.

Here is one I made last year that I thought was good.

1/3 c. water
1/3 c. oil
1/3 c. sugar
1/3 c. vinegar
3 cukes, sliced
3 tomatoes chopped, or several cherry tomatoes cut in half
1 onion diced
Dash of garlic powder
Marinate at least 1 hour before serving.

You can slice & peel them and add onions, then pour a bottle of Itailian dressing over them and let set for several hours.
