Cook safely

  • Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

Method

  1. Cut the peeled tomatoes and cucumber in one-third inch cubes, mix with the onion chopped fine.
  2. Add the dressing, which has been well mixed, and allow to stand ten minutes in a cold place.
  3. Serve on head lettuce.
  4. Peaches for Ice Cream (Six portions)
