A vegetable garden of some sort is a Pecar family staple. Cucumbers will soon "becoming out our ears" as they say. So I am posting a recipe for Grandma's Cucumber Salad. I hope you enjoy!
Cucumber Salad
Wash and pare the cucumbers and into slices an inch or an inch and a half thick. Place on lettuce remove the centers, slice crosswise leaving slices in place and filling the cups thus made with a mixture of celery, green peppers, and a little onion. Serve with French dressing.
I had to read this a couple times to get a picture of what it would look like. Keep in mind that I cipy her recipes exactly as written in her handwriting on the card. (So, after cutting the cucumbers into 1" or 1 1/2" slices, slice them long-wise and core them. Then place them on the lettuce leaves and fill them with the mixture.)
I'll bet this is pretty on the plate!
Helen Habarth married Gilbert Pecar September 25, 1924. She raised five children in her home. This BLOG is dedicated to her extensive collection of recipes. Helen kept her recipes in a large oak file box. Granddaughter Judy Pecar Crockett compiled many of the recipes, in Helen's own beautiful penmenship, into a cookbook titled: From the Kitchen of Helen Habarth Pecar.
