It's Cucumber season and the Sunday Funday Bloggers are serving them up in many different ways....
Sue of Palatable Pastime is hosting this week and asked us to help our readers by sharing recipes featuring the plethora of cucumbers available right now.

As often happens here, the gathering extended to include all my siblings. Our daughter, Marissa was home and her guy kindly took the family photo.
Instead of individual bowls, I decided to let folks make their own so I turned the garnish into a bright, beautiful salad.
Yield: 12 servings
