The key to making the most of summer produce is knowing what to do with it when if comes your way. Maybe you find a great sale at the grocery store or a neighbor ding-dong ditches a barrel of zucchini on your front step. Maybe your produce box is full of something you don’t know what to do with.

Darn! I really need some ideas for cucumbers that don't involve pickling.
We make this in the summer. It's great at picnics and BBQ's.
Cucumber Salad
2 small cucumbers, cubed
1/2 medium onion, sliced (red onions are pretty)
1/2 cup white vinegar
1 tablespoon oil
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1/2 tablespoon sugar
Fresh dill to taste
Marinate at least 30 minutes (longer is better). Chill and serve.

Do you mean a non vinegar pickling, or no pickling period? Fermentation preserves w/o vinegar if that's what you're trying to avoid.

no fermentation or vinegar pickling. My dad's good at that (fermentation) but not me. I'm not a huge fan of anything but dill pickles anyway. I don't mind the vinegar.
What about tzatziky sauce?
