Cucumber and Peach Salad with Herbs image

Mariani uses various heirloom cucumbers for this savory-sweet salad; if you can find them, flaunt them. If not, just use a mix of mini and English hothouse cucumbers, which are available year-round.

PEACH & CUCUMBER SIMPLE SALAD



Peach & Cucumber Simple Salad image

A super simple salad/side dish that works well with a hot dish, such as one with chilies, because it's cooool. I actually add the vinegar pretty much by eye without measuring. I don't add salt, but feel free to do so. It's great if you can let it sit a bit before serving so the flavors have a chance to meld, but it also works as a side dish to throw together at the last minute.

PEACH-CUCUMBER-BARLEY SALAD



Peach-Cucumber-Barley Salad image

From Good Housekeeping, 8/11. This main dish salad uses both barley and chickpeas, which makes a very satisfying meal. I think some chopped scallion is a nice addition. I cook my own chickpeas from dried, less sodium and a superior flavor, I feel.

Time 55m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup pearl barley
1 3/4 cups low sodium vegetable broth
water
1 seedless cucumber
2 ripe peaches
1 pint cherry tomatoes
1/2 cup packed fresh basil leaf
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 head boston lettuce, leaves separated, washed and dried

Steps:

  • Place barley in a 4 qt saucepan. Cook on medium heat for 5 minutes, or until toasted, stirring.
  • Stir in the broth and water, bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer for 35 minutes or until tender. Drain if necessary, and set aside to cool slightly.
  • Meantime, scoop out and discard the seed cavity of the cucumber, then cut it up into 1/4 in pieces.
  • Pit and chop the peaches.
  • Cut the tomatoes into quarters (halve if they are very small).
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the vinegar, oil and 1/4 tsp salt.
  • Add barley and toss until well coated. Allow to cool, then add the cucumbers, peaches, tomatoes, and chickpeas, tossing until well combined.
  • Serve over lettuce leaves.
  • Note: I had no basil leaves when I made this again, so used the vinaigrette from Recipe #460660, some additional fresh thyme and a little pineapple sage, which worked very well.
