Apple and Cucumber Salad with Fennel and Pomegranate
I like the simple elegance of this dish. It’s great for a dinner party, but simple enough for an everyday salad too. The sweet-tart apples pair well with the sweet fennel and juicy bursts from the pomegranate seeds. The cucumbers help to balance out the flavors.

I like the combination of these vegetables in a slaw. The cool crisp cucumber with the sweet crunchy carrot and sweet-savory jicama add depth to both flavor and texture. The tangy dressing with burst of citrus help keep this slaw light and refreshing.

Adapted from The Art of Simple Food by Alice Waters
This is a refreshing summer salad, easy to make and with few ingredients. It also holds up relatively well in the refrigerator if you have some leftovers or want to pack it for a workday lunch. You can use any cucumbers you have on hand. I happened to find these beautiful cucumbers at the Farmers’ Market.
