Hungry for salad right now! I put diced cucumbers in my potato salad (along with granny smith apples) and Italian pasta salad. My son cans the best cucumbers and pickles, so I just send them to him to do for me.
I freeze tomatoes for chili and hot dishes. I blanch them, paper towel dry them, core them, and then place them on a cookie sheet and put in the freezer until frozen. Then I bag them up. I can take out of the bag what I need instead of using the whole bag as when frozen before bagging, they separate easily. I do use my Seal a Meal, but have also double bagged using freezer bags.
