SPICY CUCUMBERS WITH YOGURT, LEMON AND HERBS
This recipe brings together two contrasting components to create a bright summer dish. A simple yogurt sauce is dressed up with herbs and zest, then topped with cucumbers that have marinated in a spicy oil. Coriander, cumin and red-pepper flakes bloom in a neutral oil, and the cucumbers take on the flavors as they sit. For the yogurt, a variety of garden fresh herbs work well, but dill and mint are crucial. Both the yogurt and the cucumbers can be prepared up to a day in advance and kept refrigerated until serving. When you're ready, spread the yogurt sauce in a wide bowl or plate. Spoon the cucumbers on top evenly so each each bite gets a little yogurt and a little cucumber: One will temper the spiciness of the other. Save a handful of the herbs for a fresh garnish.

Steps:
- Toss the cucumber pieces with 1 teaspoon salt and set in a colander in the sink to drain.
- In a small pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the coriander and cumin, and toast until fragrant, stirring to avoid scorching, about 1 minute. Remove oil from heat, add red-pepper flakes and allow to cool.
- In a medium bowl, toss the salted cucumber pieces with the scallions, spiced oil and apple cider vinegar. Allow to marinate in the refrigerator for 15 minutes or overnight while you prepare the yogurt.
- In a small bowl, combine the yogurt, half of the herbs (mint, dill and parsley), zest and juice of the lemon and the olive oil. Stir to incorporate, and season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Spread the yogurt mixture on a plate or the bottom of a shallow bowl. Using a slotted spoon to drain the cucumbers and scallions of excess liquid, evenly place the cucumbers and scallions on top of the yogurt. Finish with the remaining chopped herbs and pine nuts (if using), and serve immediately.

Steps:
- Lay the cucumber slices on kitchen paper to dry. Whizz the cheese, mint and some seasoning in a small food processor or with a hand blender. Stir in most of the chives, then spread the cheese mixture over 6 slices of bread. Reserve 12 slices of cucumber, and arrange the rest over the cheese.
- Layer up 2 slices of cucumber-topped bread, then top with a plain slice. Repeat this twice more. Use a good knife to trim the crusts off the tripledeckers, then cut each into 4 squares. Top each mini sandwich with another cucumber slice. Sprinkle with the remaining chives to serve.

Steps:
- Using a mandoline or a very sharp knife, cut the cucumber into thin slices and place them on a paper towel. You will need about 18 cucumber slices. Salt the cucumber lightly and cover with a paper towel. Let stand for 20 minutes so that any excess moisture is absorbed.
- In a small bowl or a blender, combine the butter with the chopped dill. Using a small spatula, lightly spread the dill butter on each slice of bread. Be sure to butter the bread all the way to the edges so that the slices stay moist and don't curl.
- Place 9 or more cucumber slices on one slice of bread, layering them in 3 rows. Top with a second slice of bread. Using a serrated knife, cut the sandwich diagonally to create two triangles. Repeat, using the remaining cucumber slices and slices of bread.
