A very good salad! All those green colors made a very attractive dish. I don't know what a kirby cucumber is so I used an english cucumber. It was just great. I did leave out the olives, just not a favorite for this group. The dressing is wonderful. All the liberties I took here was to add more than a dash of cracked pepper! Great!! Thank you for the recipe, Babygeri
