Peach Cucumber Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Toast pumpkin seeds on a rimmed baking sheet, tossing halfway through, until golden brown and slightly puffed, 5-7 minutes; let cool. Transfer to a small bowl and toss with 1 Tbsp. oil; season with salt.
• Meanwhile, toast cardamom, clove, coriander, and cumin in a dry small skillet over medium heat, tossing occasionally, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Remove seeds from cardamom pod; discard pod. Finely grind seeds along with other spices in spice mill or with mortar and pestle. Mix in a large bowl with chile, garlic, parsley, chopped cilantro, lemon juice, and remaining 1/4 cup oil; season with salt. Add cucumber and toss. Let sit 5 minutes.
