Gorgeous photo and dish. I’ll have to add it to my repertoire but will have to settle for regular or English cukes. My grandmother’s recipe is on the site you checked (thanks) that calls for a little cider vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper and sits in the frig for a few hours or days. Keep on cooking, love your site! dee@cookingwithdee.net

Thanks. I too was surprised at how spiny the cucumbers, but also found that they just scrub right off. Happy gardening!

I’m so glad I found your site! Today I harvested my first ever lemon cucumber, and sorta got to thinking “Oh my goodness- those are so spiny- do you have to peel them? Or huh??” I did find out that a good scrub takes those spines off.
But this recipe sounds gorgeous for summer and I plan to try this right now. Okay- maybe tomorrow. I’m building (solo) a community garden 12 miles away, and that’s where all my basil is.
The photography is lucious- what a wonderful treat.

Great looking salad, lemon cukes are the best.
