1 cocumber
1 teaspoon grated onion
1 tablespoon oil
1 tablespoon wine nnegar salt paprika

Peel the cucumber and slice as finely as possible. A potato peeler is very
useful and efficient for this operation. Put the sliced cucumber in a basin
and sprinkle liberally with salt. Let it stand for an hour or two then
squeeze it out well. Standing in salt softens and ripens the cucumber and
makes it much more digestible. Make a dressing with the rest of the
ingredients (except the paprika) and mix it with the cucumber. Sprinkle
with paprika and serve chilled. This is delicious with roast spring
chicken.
