I have made this salad many times over the years and it always receives many compliments. The addition of capers and Greek olives gives it a unique flavor and the bread cubes, a nice crunchy texture. This salad is very easy to prepare and is one of our family’s favorites.

Crunchy Cucumbers

If you want the cucumbers in your salad to be cool and crunchy, just chill them overnight in ice water. You’ll be delighted with the results…and so will everyone else! —Ruby W., Bogalusa, Louisiana
