  1. A nice way of serving cucumbers. The olives taste great with the cucumbers. I also added a couple tablespoons of crumbled feta cheese, and enjoyed it overall.
     
  2. What a great dish! We've tried many cucumber salads but never one with black olives in it.....we LOVED it. I served this in a black serving dish and it made for a beautiful presentation. Thanks for sharing this unique and very tasty dish, Chef Dudo!!!
