MELON, CUCUMBER AND MINT SALAD
Alex loves mint in many forms: muddled in a cocktail, layered in a sandwich or tossed with fruit like in this melon salad.

Steps:
- Place the melons on a flat surface and split each one in half. Scoop out and discard the seeds. Slice the ends off, then slice off the skin with a knife. Cut the flesh into 1- to 2-inch chunks. Transfer 1 heaping cup of melon chunks to a blender. Refrigerate the remaining melon chunks in a large bowl until chilled.
- Make the dressing: Add 3 tablespoons olive oil, the lime zest and juice and the honey to the blender. Puree until smooth. Taste for seasoning; add more honey, if needed. Add a splash of water if needed to make a smooth dressing. Refrigerate the dressing until ready to serve.
- In a medium bowl, toss the cucumbers with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and a generous amount of pepper. Toss the chilled melon chunks with the dressing. Add the cucumbers, sprinkle the mint on top and mix a little.

TWISTED SISTER'S CREAMY CUCUMBER SALAD
When I arrived in Iceland, this was my DH's 1st food request & I went thru a lot of RZ cucumber salad recipes to be sure it wasn't a duplicate. Siggi & my sister named this because it was original w/me & because of my twissis internet identity. For best results, don't make this a dy ahead, but do allow at least 2 hrs for the flavors to blend & the "cream" to develop from the finished ingredient mix. I promise you'll like this. (Stated time does not include refrigeration time)

Steps:
- Peel & slice cucumbers in 1/2 in thick slices. Then half ea slice & transfer all slices to a lrg mixing bowl (See note).
- Roughly dice red onion & add to the bowl.
- Quarter tomatoes, remove seeds, rough dice the tomato "meat" & add to the bowl.
- Thinly slice 1/2 green pepper, cut slices in 1 in strips & add to the bowl.
- Toss prepared "veggies" to achieve a good distributional mix.
- Add last 6 ingredients to bowl, mix well & refrigerate at least 2 hrs (stirring at least once to redistribute ingredients).
- Notes: The cucumber cut is esp important. If thinly sliced, most cucumbers wilt & do not retain their crunch. -- When all ingredients have been combined, the mixture will appear dry & lack a creamy texture or appearance. DO NOT PANIC - that will begin to change almost immediately.
- Note added 7/24/06: In response to reviewer comments, the amt of salt has been reduced by half. If you reduce further, you will likely lose any salt component in the mix.
