    3. A nice cucumber salad: Slice cucumbers thin (if they’re fat and old, peel and seed them first), toss with red onions and salt, then let sit for 20 to 60 minutes. Rinse, dry, dress with cider vinegar mixed with Dijon mustard; no oil necessary.

    I made this, but modified it and thought I'd share my modifications. Just cucumbers and onions was a little too harsh on the stomach. Also, while the tart cider vinegar/mustard dressing wasn't bad... I like mine better with a little sweet to the tart. I also had to experiment with amounts because the recipe doesn't provide any quantities. Grrr. I hate guessing at "season to taste" recipes.

    So, what I did was to use 1 tbs. apple cider vinegar, 2 tbs. Grey Poupon dijon mustard, and 1 tbs of agave honey (the sweet I added). I also tossed it in with baby spinach. 6 cups of spinach, 1 cucumber and 1/2 of one red onion (I downsized)... there was almost too much dressing for it... so you could do the 2 cukes, whole onion and more spinach if you want.... anyway... here's a picture of my creation:

    19. Mix cooked cannellini or other white beans, chopped cherry or grape tomatoes and arugula or baby spinach. Lightly toast sliced garlic in olive oil with rosemary and red pepper flakes; cool slightly, add lemon zest or juice or both, then pour over beans.

    I want to try this next... I just wish that these recipes provided some guidance as to ANY amounts. There is nothing. You totally have to guess at everything. How much garlic? How much rosemary? How much red pepper? etc.
