CUCUMBER, MELON AND FARRO SALAD WITH FETA
This is the quintessential summer salad--the one that everyone at the cookout lines up for. Cantaloupe, cucumbers and fresh mint are the refreshing base. Sweet cherry tomatoes add bright notes (and color!) and farro lends heft and nutty taste. Salty feta and a tart red wine vinaigrette round out the flavors in this easy make-ahead salad.

PURSLANE SALAD WITH CHERRIES AND FETA
This salad is inspired by one I ate in Greece. I've added the cherries and made the olives optional, though I like the contrast of the briny, salty olives against the cherries. Purslane is nutrient-dense, with lots of omega-3s. If you can't get hold of it, substitute mâche, another high-omega-3 salad green.

Steps:
- Toss together the purslane, 2 teaspoons of the mint, the cherries and the olives in a salad bowl, or in a large bowl if you prefer to serve this on a platter.
- Whisk together the vinegars, lemon juice, garlic, salt, olive oil and pepper. Toss with the salad. If desired, transfer to a platter. Sprinkle the feta and remaining mint over the top, and serve.

PURSLANE, CHERRY TOMATO, AND CUCUMBER SALAD
A simple way to enjoy purslane, which is a weed that you might be able to forage in your own backyard! Purslane has more omega-3s than any other plant source and a pleasant lemony flavor. Here I toss it with a simple mix of cherry tomatoes and cucumber for a cool salad with nice crunch.

Steps:
- Combine cherry tomatoes and cucumbers in a salad bowl. Sprinkle generously with salt, stir well, then leave to sit while you prepare the purslane.
- Rinse purslane well, then pat dry with a tea towel. Pick off any large leaves and the tender stems at the top and place in a bowl. Discard the larger sections of the stems.
- Check tomato-cucumber mixture; by now, tomatoes should have released juices thanks to the salt. If not, stir well and let sit 5 minutes more.
- Add purslane to the salad bowl with the tomatoes and cucumbers. Drizzle with olive oil and toss well. Serve immediately.
