Name: Poppy Seed Cucumber Salad
Total time: 10 min
Ingredients: 1/4 cup buttermilk; 3 tablespoons whole-milk plain or Greek yogurt; 3 tablespoons lemon juice; 1 1/2 tablespoons poppy seeds; 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (Diamond Crystal), plus more to taste; 1/4 teaspoon black pepper; 1 1/2 pounds cucumbers, thinly sliced; 4 scallions, green and white parts, thinly sliced

Use any mix of cucumbers you like for this tangy salad. If using slicing cucumbers — the slightly thicker ones you’ll find with seeds and sometimes waxier-seeming skins — you might want to peel them first and remove the seeds, which can dilute the dressing. To seed, simply halve the cucumbers lengthwise and use a teaspoon to gently scrape out the seeds. Feel free to play around with shapes, too. Slicing the cucumbers into rounds is easy enough, but half moons or other bite-size pieces are also welcome.
