PORK MEATBALLS AND CUCUMBER SALAD
If you find yourself with an abundance of cucumbers (or simply a craving for them), this salad taps into their cooling crunch without making a watery mess. The trick is to salt, drain, and squeeze out any excess liquid before dressing them-and to turn them into a full meal by adding simple oven-baked meatballs studded with briny green olives and sweet golden raisins.

Steps:
- Place racks in upper and lower thirds of oven; preheat to 425°F. Place raisins in a small bowl and pour in hot water to cover; let sit until ready to use.
- Place cucumbers in a colander or sieve set in or over a large bowl; sprinkle with 1 tsp. salt and toss to combine. Let sit while you make the meatballs. (It will seem like a lot of cucumbers at first, but they will shrink down as they drain.)
- Meanwhile, drizzle 2 Tbsp. oil over a large rimmed baking sheet. Arrange pine nuts in an even layer on another rimmed baking sheet (use a quarter-sheet if you have one!).
- Finely chop ¼ cup olives. Transfer to a large bowl and add egg, garlic, panko, parsley, 1½ tsp. salt, and ¼ tsp. red pepper flakes; season with black pepper. Drain raisins and add half to bowl; mix well to combine. Add pork and gently mix with your hands to incorporate. Working one at a time, scoop out heaping tablespoonfuls of pork mixture and form into balls (think about the size of a golf ball; you should get about 20). Arrange on oiled baking sheet, spacing 1" apart. Turn to coat.
- Bake meatballs, rotating baking sheet front to back halfway through, until browned on bottom and cooked through, 10-15 minutes. Toast pine nuts on bottom rack until golden brown, about 3 minutes.
- Coarsely chop remaining ½ cup olives. Gather cucumbers into a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out any excess liquid into bowl (don't worry if they get a little smashed); discard liquid. Wipe out bowl and combine cucumbers, olives, pine nuts, onion, herbs, and remaining raisins in bowl; toss to combine. Drizzle in vinegar and remaining 1 Tbsp. oil, season with salt and black pepper, and toss again to coat.
- Swoosh a generous scoop of yogurt over each plate, then top with salad and meatballs. Season with more black pepper and red pepper flakes if desired.

Steps:
- Mix meatball ingredients well and shape into 12 small balls. Arrange on a baking rack and refrigerate while you preheat the oven to 400ºF/204ºC. If you prefer, you can fry them in a skillet instead (teaspoon of oil over medium-high heat, turning three times, until cooked through).
- While the oven heats, mix together the sauce ingredients. Puree in the blender or shake in a jar until smooth. Taste and add more salt and lime juice if needed. Set aside at room temperature (also can be made up to 3 days in advance and refrigerated).
- Prep the salad: Start a pot of water boiling. (Blanch the green beans for 60 seconds; remove with a slotted spoon and drop into ice water) Add the noodles and cook according to package. Drain and drop into a bowl of ice water. Toss with fingers to separate and rinse and drain completely.
- Divide vegetables into 4 serving bowls: lettuce, carrot, cucumber, green beans, herbs. Top each bowl with an equal amount of noodles. Refrigerate.
- Bake the meatballs for about 10 minutes until browned and firm.
- Serve hot meatballs on cold salad with peanut sauce and any other garnishes you like
