I found these at the Farmers Market this week. Lemon cucumbers. I had never seen them before and had no idea they were cucumbers! They have such a pretty yellow color.
Anyway, I bought a few to try them out in a salad. They don't taste like lemon, but have a more mild cucumber taste. When you cut them open, they have quite a few seeds, and have a soft yellow color, almost white.
We liked them!
Here's the salad I made:
Lemon Cucumber Salad
2-3 c. cherry tomatoes,halved
1 c. chopped, peeled, and seeded cucumbers
1 tsp. oregano
2 tbsp. chopped green onions
2 tbsp. olive oil
1 Tbsp. lemon juice
salt and pepper to taste
Mix the olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, salt and pepper. Toss with cucumbers and tomatoes.

Those are really different. I've never seen them but they look really cool. Thanks for sharing!
I certainly would never have known those were cucumbers! Makes a lovely salad, though. Beautiful!
