BEET AND PEA SALAD
I got the idea for this recipe from my daughter-in-law who had tried a beet and pea salad at an organic food co-op. She was sure the beets had been pickled and the dressing was made with mayonnaise. She thought the salad included cabbage, but I decided to keep the recipe very simple. It was a major hit with my husband who hates beets.

CUCUMBER-AVOCADO SALAD
Crunchy cucumbers and creamy avocados are the stars of this simple five-ingredient salad. Peeling the cucumbers in alternating stripes helps them soak up seasonings while maintaining their shape. After being cut into bite-size pieces, they are combined with salt to draw out moisture, concentrating their flavor. Cubed avocado is tossed with lemon juice or vinegar to prevent browning, then everything is stirred together vigorously so that the avocado breaks down a bit to add a glossy coating. Finish with a hit of red-pepper flakes for heat, or embellish with herbs, lettuces, beans, soft-boiled eggs, feta, nuts and so on.

Steps:
- Transfer the scallions to a small bowl of ice water to crisp.
- Peel the cucumbers in alternating stripes, trim ends and cut cucumbers lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds, if desired. Cut cucumbers into bite-size pieces (thin slices, 1/2-inch cubes, or smashed into irregular shapes), then transfer to a colander set in the sink. Toss with 1 teaspoon salt and set aside to drain, at least 5 minutes or up to 15.
- When you're ready to eat, halve the avocados and remove the pits. Using a spoon, remove the flesh from the skins, then cut the flesh into 1/2-inch cubes. Transfer to a large bowl, add the lemon juice and season with salt. Stir to combine.
- Shake the cucumbers in the colander to get rid of any excess moisture, then transfer to the bowl with the avocado. Drain and shake the scallions in the colander. Add the scallions to the bowl.
- Stir the salad ingredients vigorously just until the avocado breaks down a bit. The cucumbers should be glossed with avocado but the majority of the avocado pieces should still remain cubed. Season to taste with salt, lemon and red-pepper flakes or hot sauce.
Tips:
- Choose ripe and fresh vegetables: For the best flavor and texture, use ripe avocados, beets, peas, and cucumbers.
- Use a sharp knife: This will help you get clean, even cuts.
- Be careful not to overcook the beets: They should be tender but still hold their shape.
- Use a light hand with the dressing: You don't want to overpower the delicate flavors of the vegetables.
- Serve the salad immediately: This is a best enjoyed fresh.
