Cucumber Salad

2 young cucumbers, I tablespoonful of vinegar, 4 tablespoonfuls of oil, 1/2 teaspoonful of salt, ¼ teaspoonful of pepper.

Pare and slice the cucumbers very thin, throw them into cold water one hour, drain and dry. Do not, on any consideration, add salt to the water in which they are soaked. When ready to serve put them in a salad bowl, sprinkle with salt and pepper. Mix well the oil and vinegar, pour them over and serve at once.

Sliced cucumbers should always accompany the fish course.
