One of the best parts about summer is the farmer’s market. There is something so wonderful about drinking a coffee and moseying around the different stands on a weekend morning, picking up fruits, vegetables, herbs, and more along the way.

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.

There’s new blood at or near the top of both the albums and singles charts this week. After 15 non-consecutive weeks in which Taylor Swift’s The Tortured Poets Department topped the Billboard 200 albums chart, there’s a fresh juggernaut at No. 1: Post Malone’s guest-packed country epic F-1 Trillion, which knocks Swift down to No. 3. Speaking of “star-packed” and “No. 3,” that’s where Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars’ “Die With a Smile” enters the Hot 100 singles chart — a strong debut, but not strong enough to displace the two-headed behemoth of Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” and Post Malone’s “I Had Some Help,” which features Morgan Wallen.
