Request From: "Darin " <[email hidden]> I have planted
cucumbers in my garden this year. I would like some recipes
for cucumber salad. TIA
Salmon-Cucumber Pate
Cucumber Layer:
1 package (8 oz) cream cheese
1/2 cup sour cream 1 tsp salt 6 to 8 drops liquid red
pepper seasoning 1 medium-sized cucumber, pared, seeded,
and shredded 1 small onion, finely chopped 2 Tbsp snipped
fresh dill
Salmon Layer:
1 can (16 oz) salmon, drained and skin and bones removed
2/4 cup mayonnaise
3/4 cup onion, finely chopped 2 Tbsp lemon juice 2 Tbsp
horseradish 2 Tbsp parsley, chopped 1 tsp salt
4/2 tsp paprika 2 envelopes unflavored gelatin
5/2 cup cold water 1 cup heavy cream, whipped
Prepare the cucumber layer: Beat the cream cheese in a medium-
sized bowl until softened and smooth. Beat in the sour
cream, salt, and red pepper seasoning. Stir in the cucumber,
onion, and dill. Set aside. Prepare the salmon layer: Flake
or mash the salmon with a fork in a large bowl. Combine the
mayonnaise, onion, lemon juice, horseradish, parsley, salt,
and paprika. Set aside. Sprinkle the gelatin over cold water
in a 1-cup glass measure, let soften for 5 minutes. Set the
cup in simmering water, stir to dissolve the gelatin. Remove
from the heat.
Stir 3 Tbsp of the gelatin liquid into the cucumber mixture.
Wet a 9x5x3 inch loaf pan, or 7 to 8 cup mold, with cool
water, and pour the cucumber mixture in. Chill while
finishing salmon layer. Stir the remaining gelatin liquid
into the salmon mixture. Fold in the whipped cream.
Carefully spoon salmon mixture over the cucumber layer in
pan. Cover pan and chill 6 hours or overnight.
To serve, run the tip of a thin-bladed knife around the top
edge of the mold. Dip the mold quickly in and out of hot
water. Cover with a chilled serving platter, invert, shake
gently to remove. Garnish with caviar, cucumber slices,
lemon, and dill. Serve with party rye bread and crackers.

Hungarian Paprika Cucumber Salad
Serves 4 to 6. Delicious.
3 fresh picked garden cucumbers from your vegetable garden.
6/2 teaspoon salt, plain or iodized. Freshly ground pepper
to taste 1 medium fresh garden onion from your vegetable
garden. 1 teaspoon granulated white sugar. 2 tablespoons
white vinegar. 2 tablespoons water. 3 cloves fresh
crushed garlic from your vegetable garden. (Optional)
Fresh sweet Hungarian paprika.
Peel the fresh garden cucumbers. Carefully slice them, paper
thin. Sprinkle with salt and let stand for 15 minutes.
Squeeze out the liquid from the cucumbers. Peel and slice
the onion very thin and mix with cucumbers. Add the salt,
pepper, white vinegar, and water to cover the vegetables.
You may adjust the vinegar, salt or sugar to a sweet - sour
taste. Sprinkle the crushed garlic on top of the sliced
cucumbers and onion. Sprinkle Hungarian paprika generously
on top. Chill for 1/2 hour. The paprika cucumbers improve in
taste as they marinate. Additional Serving Hint: 1 Heaping
Tablespoon fresh sour cream (Check the expiration date on
the lid). Place on top of the paprika cucumber salad just
before serving. Makes a nice presentation and it tastes
sooooo good...!
