Add the fresh taste of the farmer's market to your dinner table tonight with this scrumptious one-dish meal that can be put together in less than 20 minutes. Combine juicy nectarines with crunchy cucumber and a few chopped scallions for extra bite to create a flavorful and colorful salad that pairs perfectly with grilled scallions. We added some zest with fresh lemon. The taste of the Mediterranean shines through in the mix of spices used to make the rub for the scallions. You can double the recipe for the rub and use it on other types of fish.
