This recipe was extracted from Miss Parloa's new cook book and marketing guide (1880) by Maria Parloa, page 103. The excerpt below is the record exactly as published.

Cucumber Salad. Cut about one inch off of the point of the cucumber, and pare. (The bitter juice is in the point, and if this is not cut off before paring, the knife carries the flavor all through the cucumber.) Cut in thin slices, cover with cold water, and let stand half an hour. Drain, and season with French dressing

Cook this with the app: pantry check, scaling, and the assistant.
