Cucumber Salad - Minute Pearl Onions, Fluted Knife

With a handy slicer or fluted knife remove the outside rind from the cucumbers, cut in thin slices, and let stand in ice water to chill, retaining the slices in the order in which they were cut. Wipe dry, and arrange the slices in the salad bowl in the form of a Greek cross. Make a French dressing in the proportion of three tablespoonfuls of cider vinegar to six tablespoonfuls of oil, half a teaspoonful of salt, and a dash of paprika. Rub the inside of the salad bowl with the cut side of an onion or sprinkle with one tablespoonful, each, of minute pearl onions and fine-chopped parsley.
