Cucumber Salad

Ingredients

a piece of ice in the water
salt

Directions

Peel the cucumbers, and put in water with a piece of ice in the water. Do not add salt- — it only serves to toughen the cucumbers. Arrange lettuce on a flat dish and dress with French dressing. Slice the cucumbers over the lettuce and add dressing to them.
