Is it healthy to eat cucumbers and avocado for lunch?
It depends what is on that cucumber sandwhich. It also depneds on the bread you use. But if it's just cucmbers between two slices of wheat bread, I would say that is pretty healthy. Just keep in mind that a diary like cheese and a meat like ham or turkey would make your sandwhich have all the right food groups. Except for fruit which could be worked in with a fruit smoothie or apple wedges on the side. A sandwhich is very universle.

What is difference between cucumber and gherkin?
Not really. Cornichons are spiced slightly differently, and cost more. But, they're basically the same: tiny pickled cucumbers.
AnswerContrary to popular believe, gherkins are not cucumbers. Gherkins and cucumbers are related but not the same plant race. This is a slight difference botanically, but quite a difference in taste and appearance.Cornichons are indeed harvested before they are fullgrown. After that they are pickled according to a French recipe. This results in pickles that are slightly less salty then the average pickled gherkin.
Cornichons have more flavor, are tinier than baby gherkins. Gherkins can be substitued for Cornichons, but once you taste the real thing, it is tough to go back. They keep forever in the frige and are a tasty addition to tuna salad, devilled eggs and lots of other things.

What can you substitute for tzatziki aka cucumber spread in a traditional middle eastern dinner?
The primary ingredient to Tzatziki is yogurt. In a pinch, plain unsweetened yogurt can be used - however it will be lacking in rich zesty flavor that true Tzatziki can provide. Tzatziki is not difficult to make, as it has only a few ingredients:
* 16 ounces (2 cups) of thick Greek yogurt * 4 to 10 cloves of garlic, finely chopped * 1/2 cup of diced or grated cucumber (Kirby or "English") * 1 tablespoon of olive oil * 2 teaspoons of lemon juice Prepare all ingredients in advance. Combine oil and lemon juice in a medium mixing bowl. Fold the yogurt in slowly, making sure it mixes completely with the oil. Add the garlic, according to taste, and the cucumber. Stir until evenly distributed. Garnish with a bit of green and serve well chilled. Add mint or dill: Slight variations include 1-2 tablespoons of finely chopped fresh dill and/or fresh mint. Tasty additions!
Yield: About 2 1/2 cups
Prep Time: 15 minutes In Greek: τζατζίκι, pronounced dza-DZEE-kee Tzatziki is traditionally served as an appetizer and can be left on the table as an accompaniment to foods throughout the meal. The key to great tzatziki is the thick creamy texture that allows it to be eaten alone, as a dip, as a spread, and as a condiment.
Cucumbers become pickles either by fermentation or through acidification. Fermentation will take too long, so acidification will likely be your best bet.
Acidification involves placing the cukes in a seasoned vinegar solution which can be salty or sweet. They also generally include a canning or hot fill process - unless you make refrigerator pickles. Small pickles, spears or slices will attain the flavor you're looking for more quickly. There are many recipes on the internet. See Related links for a sampling.
