Trim the tips from string beans and snap them in half; steam till tender-crisp, then rinse under cold water. Combine with remaining ingredients, except the last two, and toss gently.
Line a serving bowl with several lettuce leaves, then pour in the salad. Arrange some cherry tomato halves in a circle around the edge. Cover and chill till needed or possibly serve at once.

Comments: Kirby cukes are the small, hard type used for pickling. Substitute 1/2 medium cucumber if unavailable.
