When I studied Anthropology in college, I learned that teeth have been indicators of economic status just about forever. Archaeologists look at the teeth in ancient skeletons and know who the rich were based on their tooth decay. During the Renaissance period, it became fashionable for women to blacken their teeth to look like they were better off than they were, because the royals and aristocrats, who could afford sugar and sweets, had more rotten and missing teeth than the poor.

Cucumbers are pretty much synonymous with cool, and they're terrific in slaws, noodle dishes, and drinks—we even like them in cooked dishes. But the very best way to use these ubiquitous vegetables might just be in a cucumber salad recipe, whether they're the star ingredient or combined with other fresh produce. For one, their mild and lightly sweet flavor is easy to match with a range of ingredients, from spicy red onion to bright and light herbs such as dill and mint. Perhaps even better, though, is that a cucumber salad is just as good at complementing classic summer mains, such as burgers or grilled meats or fish, as it is supporting spicy entrée since cukes do a great job tempering heat.
