Cucumber salad with chili oil, melon, feta + mint from Ruffage: A Practical Guide to Vegetables (page 175) by Abra Berens

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    I inverted the cucumber and melon ratio and used a cantaloupe and Calabrian chile oil. We absolutely loved this — it’s easy, and the mix of flavors and textures is so appealing we couldn’t stop eating it.

    I absolutely loved this salad, all the textures and flavors come together beautifully, a medley of salty, sweet, and spicy, with bright fresh mint and soft feta playing against the crunch of the cucumber. A summer favorite!

    A little disappointing but I had a bitter cucumber and did not manage to get rid of the bitterness. Used the “Everything oil” from To Asia, with Love instead of the chilli oil, worked well.
