OOh, this was good--with grilled chicken and roasted veg. I did the cucumbers on the mandoline and shredded the romaine as if for slaw. Delicious!!!

Had this with Artichoke Chicken last night and enjoyed very much. Nice light salad that reminded me of Tzikie (sp?) my only changes was to use thinly sliced sweet onions (all I had) and baby spinach leaves instead of Romaine - again all I had. Used Greek Style yogurt as I felt it wouldn't be as watery with the cucumbers. I think next time I might even add a teaspoon of vinager for an extra tang, and we will be making this again.
