CHOPPED CUCUMBER AND TOMATO SALAD
Here's an easy summer salad that's always a winner. There are many similar chopped salads served throughout the Eastern Mediterranean, but this version with halved sweet cherry tomatoes is especially attractive. Your own take can be a variation on this one: Feel free to use large tomatoes, chop the vegetables as small or large as you like (roughly chopped has its charms), add other herbs like basil, mint or dill, or swap the feta for mozzarella.

CHOPPED SALAD
A good chopped salad is a buoyant mix of different textures (creamy, crisp, crunchy, juicy), a range of colors, and sweet, salty and tangy flavors. This one has it all, in just the right proportions. You can gather all the ingredients in advance, including cooking the bacon and the eggs. But don't toss everything together until just before serving - and, preferably, do so at the table for maximum impact.

Steps:
- Make the dressing: Zest the lemon into a small bowl, then halve the naked lemon and squeeze the juice into the bowl. Whisk in oil and season to taste with salt and pepper; set aside.
- Put the romaine into a large bowl, then top with tomatoes, bacon, cucumber, blue cheese and scallions. Drizzle in about two thirds of the dressing, then toss until well coated.
- Place sliced avocado and eggs on top of salad, and season lightly with salt and pepper (especially the avocado, which can take a lot of salt). Drizzle salad with remaining dressing, and serve.

CHOPPED SALAD
This can take a while - or not. I work progressively: shred the cabbage, then salt it. Cut the carrots, then salt them, letting them sit while you're slicing the onion. Add the onion to the carrots, and so on. The salting intensifies flavor, slightly pickling the vegetables.

Steps:
- In a colander or strainer, salt the cabbage with at least a tablespoonful and toss. In another colander, combine the carrots, onion, cucumbers and turnip, kohlrabi or beet (the beet will bleed, so you may want to do that separately), and salt with at least a tablespoonful and toss.
- As the cabbage wilts, squeeze out a little excess liquid. Toss the other vegetables from time to time. They can stay in the salt for up to an hour or as little as 15 minutes, during which time you can prepare the other vegetables.
- Rinse the salted vegetables lightly and spin in a salad spinner for a few seconds to remove excess liquid. Toss with the unsalted vegetables and dress with the olive oil, lemon juice and salt and pepper. Taste, adjust seasoning and serve. The salad will keep for a couple of days.
