Our cucumber plants have been growing a lot of large cucumbers very fast. I almost think my husband put down way too many seeds because we are getting five large ones a day. However, it was time to be creative.
The boys and I have been getting tired of my traditional Grandma's cucumber salad and regular cucumbers with ranch dressing, so I decided to experiment with the Ninja Foodi.
We were pleasantly surprised by how delicious cucumbers were when they came out of the air fryer. You can still top them with Ranch dressing or even Tzatziki sauce, but even without a dressing, they are really tasty yet filling.
