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.

    This was surprisingly liked by all. I say surprising because I was a little nervous about the high quantity of cilantro and scallions relative to the cucumber so I played with the proportions and used a whole cucumber and about 2/3 the other ingredients. I also only used one jalapeno because 3 would have been a crazy amount of hot peppers. I was going to make up the difference with green pepper but I can out of times. Seems like as long as the ingredients are all super fresh you can use whatever quantity looks good. This salad was a bright flavorful side to miso glazed cod and steamed baby bok choy.
