One of my favorite all-time recipes. Every time I make this salad, people ask for the recipe. It's good for weeknights and special occasions. In the fall, I use chopped apple instead of the cucumbers and it's a delicious alternative. Smoked cheddar is the way to go.

Have been making this for years since it originally came out in EW magazine - always a hit!

I don't even like spinach and I love this salad. I used GS apples instead of cukes as that is what I had on hand. Unfortunately, I was also out of pecans which would make this even more yummy. Will definitely make this again. Lisa, Westborough, MA
