Notes
This salad can layered on a platter by placing the lettuce in the middle and arranging the cucumbers around the lettuce. Add the herbs to the top of this. I layered this way for a dinner party and my kids love cucumbers, so I made it easier for them to get the cucumbers over messing up the salad.
Switch up the lettuce for what you like and add tomatoes, sliced red onions, olives and croutons.
Add roasted chicken to the top to make a meal or serve with grilled meat to make a fabulous dinner.
