  5. Notes: "This salad in Cyprus is much like a typical Greek salad, but more varied and full of whatever herbs and greens the garden might yield.
  6. Garlic, olives and lemon are always there; everything else might vary. The following is one of my recent favorites: lots of rocket and fresh herbs. "
  7. CUCUMBER: If using a hothouse cucumber, leave the peel on; if using an American-type cucumber, peel it.**OLIVES: cracked green or possibly salt-cured slightly dry black olives, or possibly a combination of different types.
