Cucumber Salad Au Natural Recipe ingredients

To prepare this Cucumber Salad Au Natural Recipe, first select well shaped, green-colored cucumbers. Wash, and wipe dry. From the blossom end, cut under the skin with a sharp knife, almost to the opposite end, but leaving fast at the stem end, thus making four green leaves of the skin, the length of the cucumber, one on each side, with a space between. Cut near the stem end with the point of a sharp knife, so that the white part may be removed without breaking the leaves formed. Finish peeling the part removed, and slice thin. Keep the slices together in natural shape, so that the whole may be fitted again between the green leaves, or skin, of the cucumber. Lay on a white platter, in the natural skin thus cut representing long leaves. Serve separately with mayonnaise or French dressing.
