SIMPLE CUCUMBERS AND ONIONS
My mom always had a bowl of this in the fridge during the summer, and now I do too! My mom sliced her cucumbers and onions in cold salt water for a few hours first, but I usually do not. I do not notice difference when they are not soaked. Instead of peeling the cucumbers completely, I leave a few stripes of green to add color to the salad. Note: Cooking time includes time to chill salad before serving.

Steps:
- Combine oil, vinegar, and sugar in a medium to large bowl (big enough to hold all completed salad). Stir until sugar is dissolved (Note: You can heat the dressing to help keep it from separating. It is not necessary, but I do if I have time. If you heat the dressing, be sure to cool it before adding to cucumbers).
- Add cucumbers and onions to dressing. Toss to coat veggies.
- Cover and chill at least 2 hours before serving. The longer it chills, the better it gets!

SIMPLE CUCUMBER SOUP
The most simple yet one of the best soups I had so far. A simplified version of my mum's cucumber soup. No need for salt, pepper, or seasonings, just a good vegetable broth. I like to have it with a good slice of toasted bread and some good cheese.

Steps:
- Melt butter with the oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook and stir onion and garlic in the butter mixture until tender, 3 to 5 minutes.

CUCUMBER KIMCHI
Cucumber kimchi can be made using any cucumber, but this recipe uses kirby cucumbers, resulting in an extra crunchy, flavorful condiment. Perfect for enjoying the last bit of summer, this kimchi can be served alongside Korean BBQ or as one of the side dishes to a larger meal. It's also great on a burger! You can enjoy it right away or the next day after letting it sit for up to 4 to 6 hours at room temperature following overnight refrigeration. If you don't finish it, don't worry, this cucumber kimchi can hold for at least 1 week in the refrigerator!
