Cucumber Salad
- 3 medium-sized cucumbers
- 1 cup diced tomato
- 1/2 cup diced celery
- Salad dressing
- Lettuce
- 1 pimiento
Peel the cucumbers, cut them into halves, and with a small spoon scoop out the cucumbers in chunks so that a boat shaped piece of cucumber that is about 1/4 inch thick remains. Dice the pieces of cucumber which have been scooped from the center, and place the cucumber shells in ice water so as to make them crisp. Mix the diced tomato, celery, and cucumber together, and just before serving drain them carefully so that no liquid remains. Mix the salad dressing, wipe the cucumber shells dry, fill them with the salad mixture, and place on salad plates garnished beautifully with lettuce leaves. Cut the pimiento into this strips, and place three or four strips diagonally across the cucumber.
