Spanish Onion Salad
Peel and slice two large Spanish onions and two cucumbers. Put them into iced water for twenty minutes, then drain, and dry them well on a cloth. Arrange the slices of onion and cucumber alternately on a dish, pour sauce ‘alla Francese’ (see Sauces, p. 123), over them and serve.
N.B.—Cucumbers should if possible always be kept on ice, and never be put into salted water.
