SUMMER CUCUMBER JICAMA SALAD
This is a really great cucumber salad that's light and flavorful and makes a great starter! Tastes fine as it is, but can be salted and peppered to taste, if desired. Just remember to add all ingredients and mix before adding in the tomatoes, as they are extremely delicate and do not withstand stirring very well once they are cut.

CUCUMBER AND TOMATO SALAD WITH CILANTRO AND MINT
Greater Los Angeles is a collection of not just smaller cities but also exotic populations. Among those cities is Glendale (not so small: it would be the second-most-populous city in New England), a center of the Armenian diaspora and home to one of the world's largest Armenian populations outside Armenia. Fleeing religious violence in the late 19th century, genocide in the early 20th or the Soviet Union after that, Armenian Californians became integral in the development of the fig, raisin and bulgur businesses. They also opened restaurants. This salad comes from one of them, Adana. The chef and owner, Edward Khechemyan, gave me the recipe in 2013.

SPICY GRILLED WATERMELON, JICAMA AND CUCUMBER SALAD
By Susan Russo, a food journalist and blogger (Food Blogga). She recommends it with grilled steak, but I make it with grilled fish. She writes, "If you're making this salad ahead, hold off on adding the dressing and cheese until you're ready to serve." The char adds a smoky taste to the watermelon but does soften it a bit; if you're skeptical about grilling it this combination of flavors works so well together you can just use ungrilled melon.

- For the dressing, combine all ingredients in a small bowl and whisk. Set aside.

JICAMA SALAD WITH CUCUMBER AND LIME
This recipe is a nice change from the typical green salad. A great salad for summer cookouts. Goes very well with spicy grilled beef dishes. The cook time is the standing time. This is a Whole Foods recipe that called for chili powder and I used this with ground chiptole powder.
