Cucumber and Peach Salad

An unusual combination of peaches and cucumbers melds well with mint and lime juice for a refreshing summer salad. I adapted this recipe from the Johnson Company's "Right@Home" web site for a cucumber and mango salad. Peaches are almost as sweet as mangoes. And I substituted chives for onions and topped the salad with salmon. Yum-a-lish!

• 2 teaspoons sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
• 3 Tablespoons fresh lime juice
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 3 large peaches cut into 1/2-inch pieces
• 1 large cucumber, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
• a bunch of chives cut finely
• 3 Tablespoons thinly sliced fresh mint leaves
• 1/4 cup sliced mozzarella cheese
• 3 oz. of Alaskan Salmon

In a small bowl, mix the sugar, cumin, lime juice, salt and olive oil. Set aside. In a medium-size bowl, mix together the peaches, cucumbers, chives and mint. Toss with the dressing and place the salad on a serving platter. Sprinkle with cheese and salmon on top of the salad.
