Chop your cucumber and mix it with some natural yoghurt and then mix in some finely chopped fresh mint. Really refreshing and tastes great with kebabs and goes down well at BBQ's. Enjoy!

thinly slice a cucumber lengthways, do the same with a melon (the one with a pale green scaly skin and orange flesh inside ), cut up a few juicy tomatoes, and sprinkle some goats cheese over the top, the dressing is olive oil with red wine vinegar, salt, pepper and a little sugar.

I like cucumber 'chinese' style.





Cut the a cusumber into long thin strips - like you get with duck pancakes.





Cut a bunch of spring onions the same way.





Mix them together with some fresh beansprouts, a chopped fresh chilli and a handful of shelled, toasted,chopped peanuts.





Then you can either add a simple dressing of soy, sesame oil and a little rice wine vinegar for a side dish.





Or I like to pile shredded cooked chicken/duck/pork on top of the salad and smother it all in a dressing made with peanut butter seasame oil, soy sauce, a little coconut milk and more chilli - like a satay.





It's a great supper salad.
black olives red onion sliced fine cherry tomatoes, chunky cucumber an feta cheese and Pamirs ham with a drizzle of olive oil an pepper .
if you take sliced cucumbers, about 1/4 inch in thickness, sweet onions sliced about 1/8 inch, quartered cherry tomatoes, 1 cup vinegar, 1 bottle Newman's own creamy Italian salad dressing, and 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper(optional)


place in bowl and refrigerate overnight, serve cold. makes a great picnic food or just a fun snack.
