Cucumber Salad

Peeled, sliced cucumbers with oil, vinegar, salt & pepper.

Take three medium-sized cucumbers, lay them on ice until thoroughly chilled, then pare, taking care to leave no trace of the green skin, a very small bit of which would be enough to spoil the salad. Slice the cucumbers very thinly and arrange them in a glass dish or shallow bowl; mix together half a teaspoonful of ground white pepper and one teaspoonful of salt, and sprinkle this over and among them; then mix one tablespoonful of vinegar with two tablespoonfuls of the best salad oil and pour it over.
