Cucumber Salad

Pare the cucumbers rather thickly and lay them in ice water for about an hour and a half. After wiping them very dry, slice very thin, adding an onion, which must be sliced also. Make a salty water and allow the cucumber and onion to remain in this for another hour. After squeezing every drop of water from them place in a salad bowl-sprinkle pepper and bits of parsley over the whole. Cover with vinegar and set on ice until ready for use.
