Cucumber Salad
slice very thinly 4 large cucumbers
chop 1 small onion
a dash of salt and a dash of pepper
a heaping serving spoon of Miracle Whip
Stir all together in a bowl and put a lid on it. Refrigerate for 24 hours. It
will seem like too little salad dressing, but, in the 24 hour rest, the juices
of the cucumbers are drawn out by the dressing and the onion. It's just a
wonderfully refreshing hot day dish.
