BLACK RICE SALAD WITH CUCUMBER, MANGO, AND MINT
Steps:
- Put all the veggies and grain in a big bowl and toss. Mix the dressing ingredients in a separate container and pour over the salad. Toss. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve chilled. This salad is best 1-3 hours after it has been made. It will remain appealing for about 3 days in the refrigerator. Can be prepared a day ahead of time. Keep the dressing separate, as lime juice loses its tang quickly, and the salt in the fish sauce will cause the veggies to lose their crunch.

GRILLED CHICKEN HOAGIES WITH MANGO CHUTNEY AND MELTED BRIE SERVED WITH TOMATO CUCUMBER SALAD
Steps:
- Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill to high heat.
- In a shallow dish, mix together 2 tablespoons of the EVOO, the thyme, garlic, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken cutlets and coat thoroughly. Let the chicken marinate while you get the salad together and grill up the bread.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the mustard, white wine vinegar, shallots, and a little salt and pepper. In a slow, steady stream, whisk in the remaining 3 tablespoons of EVOO. Add the grape tomatoes; with a fork smash some of the tomatoes against the side of the bowl so that their juices become part of the dressing. Add the sliced cucumbers and toss them to combine.
- Cut the hoagie rolls in half lengthwise like a book, without separating the two halves all the way. Drizzle the inside of the rolls with some EVOO, hinge the rolls open, and lay them down on the grill with the inside flat against the grill. Once they are well marked, 1 to 2 minutes, flip them over and grill the outside a little bit. Remove the rolls from the grill and reserve.
- Grill the cutlets for 3 to 4 minutes on one side. Flip the cutlets and top each with some of the mango chutney, spreading it out a bit, and 2 slices of Brie. Tent the chicken with a piece of foil and continue to grill it for 3 to 4 minutes to melt the cheese. Remove the cutlets from the grill, cut each in half, and distribute the chicken among the grilled rolls, wedging it into the bread. Top the chicken with some of the chopped watercress and squeeze the hoagies shut. Serve the sandwiches alongside the tomato cucumber salad.

Steps:
- Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl; toss gently.
- Let stand 15 minutes before serving.
Tips:
- Choose ripe and fresh ingredients: Use ripe mangoes and cucumbers for the best flavor. Look for mangoes that are slightly soft to the touch and have a sweet aroma. Choose cucumbers that are firm and have a deep green color.
- Cut the vegetables evenly: This will help them cook evenly and absorb the dressing better. Use a sharp knife to cut the cucumbers and mangoes into thin slices or matchsticks.
- Use a variety of herbs and spices: This will add flavor and complexity to the salad. Some good options include cilantro, mint, basil, cumin, and chili powder.
- Don't overdress the salad: A little dressing goes a long way. Add just enough dressing to coat the vegetables and herbs, without making the salad soggy.
- Let the salad chill before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and the salad to become more refreshing.
Conclusion:
Cucumber mango salad is a refreshing and flavorful dish that is perfect for summer gatherings. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its vibrant colors and delicious flavors, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next party or potluck.
