Directions:
For dressing: In a small bowl combine oil, vinegar, soup mix and pressed garlic; whisk until blended and set aside.
For salad, score cucumber lengthwise using a lemon zester/scorer; remove seeds using a corer, then using Ultimate Slice & Grate fitted with v-shaped blade, slice cucumber; cut slices in half. Using Cherry & Olive Pitter, pit olives; cut in half. Dice bell pepper using Chef's Knife and chop onion using Food Chopper. Grate carrot with the Deluxe Cheese Grater.
Place vegetables, chicken, lettuce and beans into a medium serving bowl. Pour dressing over salad and toss to coat. Sprinkle with feta cheese, if desired. Serve immediately with Lacy Cheese Crisps.
For Lacy Cheese Crisps: Slice the 4-ounce chunk of cheese into twelve 1/4-inch thick slices; cut each slice in half to make 24 squares. Place squares 1 inch apart on large round baking stone. Bake at 375 degrees F for 16-18 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Immediately remove to cooling rack; cool completely.
