You may have passed these up in the supermarket thinking they are only for pickles. Take note!
My store was out of regular cukes so I got kirby (pickling). They were quite large kirbys. But I made fire and ice salad and it is actually BETTER! There's a reason you use them for pickles. They stay crisp and don't turn to mush! And a fire and ice salad is a pickling of sorts, especially if you let it sit and marinate. So noted: Kirbys! This salad was AWESOME with a nice crisp freshness! I always put the tomatoes in last so just another tip for ya.
