Balsamic-tossed cucumbers with mint and olives

A light and refreshing spring/summer salad. Would pair great with ham and cheese sandwiches or burgers or fried chicken. 

I used dried mint instead of fresh (never as fragrant, but certainly will do). I especially appreciate Jamie Oliver's tip to smash pit-in kalamata olives with the palm of your hand to remove the seeds.
