- Fleischsalat aus Rinderzunge / Beef Tongue Salad
Fleischsalat is a classic German meat salad made with sausage, pickles and tossed with a mayonnaise dressing. They are often eaten with some German bread or Brötchen / buns. I am using the beef tongue instead as I enjoy organ meat and like to experiment with eating offal. Use mortadella or other ham instead if you don't eat organ meat.

By ‘smacking’ the cucumbers in this refreshing side dish you create more rough surfaces to better soak up the spicy sauce. It makes a great accompaniment to grilled chicken or skewered steak. Feel free to use more chilli sauce if you want it really spicy or less chilli oil if you prefer it milder. Whipped tahini is creamy, nutty, richly satiating and comes together in a snap using a stick blender.

The Asian salad dressing is terrific for all salads, but it pairs particularly well with cucumbers for a spicy, crunchy, and refreshing salad. I like to accordion slice the cucumber for fun, but cut the cucumbers as you prefer. It's gluten-free and keto friendly.

- Charred Cucumbers with Coriander Goat Yoghurt and Zhoug
A beautifully refreshing summer salad to enjoy at your next grill party or simply alongside some roasted chicken or burgers. It's ridiculously quick and easy to throw together!
Zhoug is a popular Middle Eastern condiment that's made with cilantro, jalapeños, garlic, spices and olive oil. Basically, it's a spicy herb sauce, so if you ain't a fan of cilantro, use other herb sauce you like. If you can't find goat yoghurt, use plain Greek yoghurt instead.

- Buffalo Smashed Cucumbers with Roquefort
‘Smashing / smacking’ cucumber is a Chinese cooking technique allowing them to absorb more sauce, hence more flavour. The combination of buffalo sauce with cucumbers might seem really weird, but it works like a charm. You get a punch of heat from the spicy, garlicky buffalo sauce immediately followed by a juicy burst of crunchy, cool cucumber that keeps you coming back for more and more.

- Smoked Salmon Mousse with Caviar
These wonderfully sophisticated bite-sized appetizers or snacks are incredibly easy to prepare yet impressive and can be done in 10 minutes. Smoked salmon is delicious and packed with nutrients, vitamins, and omega-3 fatty acids. Turning them into a mousse made with cream cheese is even better. Black caviar are optional, but they do add an elegant touch to the appetizers that your family or guests will love. The mousse can be made one day ahead and stored in your fridge. It actually taste better the next day as the flavors have time to develop. If you don't have a pastry bag, put the mousse into a small sealable plastic bag and cut the tip off the corner of the bag. You can also put the mousse in a bowl and serve with vegetables or/and crackers.

- Pineapple Cucumber Jalapeño Salad
The combo of sweet juicy pineapple and crunch cucumber is absolutely delightful. Jalapeño here adds the perfect amount of kick while not being overpowering. I also sprinkled a pinch of Turkish pul biber, also know as Aleppo chilli flakes, over for subtle notes of cumin and fruity tang. It contains no seeds or inner flesh of the chillies, so it's not spicy at all. This salad is pretty straightforward and simple, so make sure to use the freshest and best produce you can find.

Checkerboard salad is so pretty on the eye! I like cucumber in tzatziki salad.

Me gusta el pepino. Gracias por la receta. Te mando un beso.
And our cucumbers are just coming in! Perfect timing.
So many beautiful recipes Angie. There are so many people who have trouble with their tummies when they eat cucumbers, such a pity as there are so many different ways of using them. We eat a fair amount of cucumber mostly in our summer but when having guests I have to remind myself who can eat it and who can't - but that's life.
Yummm! I want to try them all 😋
Have a great weekend!
Your salads are beautiful - like works of art!
