CUCUMBER SALAD

A recipe for making cucumber salad – Pare the cucumbers and then cut into thin slices and cover with two tablespoons of salt and cracked ice for one hour. Wash and then drain. Now shred fine the coarse green leaves of the lettuce. Arrange the cucumbers on the prepared lettuce and serve with sour cream dressing.

Here are photos from me trying out this cucumber salad recipe. Peeling (paring) the cucumber was easy.

Next I just pulled some leaves of iceburg lettuce from a head of lettuce and then chopped them into small pieces.

After putting the shredded lettuce into a clear glass bowl, I sliced the cucumber and put the circular slices onto the lettuce.

For a dressing, I used a store bought cucumber dressing which had sour cream in it. I didn’t add any salt as the dressing already had enough.
