Cucumbers, to Dress

Pare the cucumber and cut it into thin slices, or pare it round and round into ribands, leaving out the watery part. Sprinkle a little salt over them, and in a few minutes drain off the water which exudes. Put the slices on a clean dish, and pour a little oil and vinegar over them, and if necessary add a little more salt and pepper. Many persons like a few slices of onion served with the cucumber, or a tea-spoonful of the vinegar in which onions have been pickled may be added to the other vinegar. Probable cost, cucumbers 6d. each, when in full season.
