SALMON AND COUSCOUS SALAD WITH CUCUMBER-FETA DRESSING
The dressing in this 30-minute recipe is inspired by green goddess dressing and mast-o khiar, a Persian side dish of cucumbers and yogurt. Here, thick yogurt is combined with fresh herbs, tangy feta and crunchy Persian cucumbers. If you have trouble finding Persian cucumbers, they can be swapped for similarly sweet-skinned English cucumbers or peeled regular cucumbers. Flaking the salmon into the salad evenly distributes it and is a nice alternative to serving a fillet for dinner. Leftover salad can be enjoyed cold for lunch the next day, freshened up with a squeeze of lime juice and more fresh herbs.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 400 degrees. In the center of a sheet pan, place salmon skin-side down. Pat the salmon dry, then coat with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Season with salt, pepper, 1/2 teaspoon cumin and 1/2 teaspoon turmeric. Coat 1 of the lime halves in some of the olive oil in the pan, then place cut-side up in the corner.
- Roast the salmon on the center rack until opaque on the outside and light pink in the center, about 18 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
- While the salmon roasts, make the couscous: In a lidded pot over medium-high heat, toast the couscous, uncovered, stirring until fragrant, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add 3 cups water, season with salt, cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to maintain an active simmer, then cook until the couscous is tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain the couscous in a colander, then drizzle with olive oil, tossing to coat. Stir in the arugula, letting it wilt. Leave in the sink to cool slightly while you make the dressing.
- Prepare the dressing: In a serving bowl, combine the yogurt with 1/4 cup room temperature water and the zest and juice of 1 lime, then whisk until smooth. Add the remaining 1/2 teaspoon cumin, plus 1/4 cup feta, most of the herbs (reserving some for garnish) and the cucumber. Stir to combine, then season to taste with salt. Set aside.
- Add the cooked couscous and arugula to the yogurt mixture, tossing to combine. Remove the salmon from the skin, then flake with a fork. Add half the salmon to the couscous, mixing it together. Place the remaining salmon on top, squeeze the roasted lime half over the dish, then garnish with the scallions, remaining feta, parsley and mint. Quarter the remaining lime half and serve it on the side.
CUCUMBER WITH FETA CHEESE DRESSING
According to David Scott's "Middle Eastern Vegetarian Cookery", this easy salad is from Egypt, and is often served with the bean salad, "ful medames". I love it - it is fresh and summery, and delicious on a hot day. Feel free to reduce, or even omit, the onion if you don't like to eat it raw - the recipe still works well without it. Posted in the hope of joining the North African and Middle Eastern Tag game :-)

Steps:
- Slice cucumbers as thinly as you can. A mandolin or vegetable slicer will make quick work of it. Toss together the cucumbers and a large pinch of salt in a mesh strainer set over a bowl. Combine the feta, oregano, garlic and shallots in a separate bowl. Add the lemon juice and zest and whisk in the olive oil. Drain off and discard any water that has released from the cucumbers. Toss together the cucumbers and the dressing. Serve.

CUCUMBER SALAD WITH BALSAMIC DRESSING AND FETA
I came up with this one night when all I had was cucumbers and it seemed so boring. The onions in this were a last minute addition when my 1 yo daughter came toddling in with a couple from my garden. My kids loved and kept asking for more. Not bad for the veg. Note: For best favor, this should be chilled overnight or at least several hours. Cooking time is chilling time.

Steps:
- I peeled the cukes, but you don't have too. The yellow peel would add a nice splash of color. Slice them thin and put them in a pretty bowl.
- Note: If you don't want a lot of excess liquid, slice your cukes and let them sit overnight in a strainer. Extra liquid, if any, will drain from the them.
- If you got your onions fresh, as I did, you'll need to clean and trim them. Slice them very thin, including the greens. The darker green from the onions looks very pretty against the pale cucumbers. If you don't have any onion greens, 2 tbsp fresh chives will do.
- For the dressing:.
- Combine the vinegar, sugar and water. The meaurements I included here are approximate. You are welcome to make this to taste.
- Pour it over your salad and mix it well.
- Chill it overnight or at least several hours so the vinegar & onion flavors will combine. Stir it a couple of times to make sure the flavors are well incorporated.
- Crumble your feta over the salad before serving or combine it at the beginning to let it's flavors combine as well. The feta I used was what I had on hand so you're welcome to use any you wish.
- I've thought of adding some almonds or walnuts for an extra crunch.
