Cucumber-Lemon Beef Salad

Cucumber-Lemon Beef Salad is a wonderful way to use leftover cold roast beef. Accompanied with bagels and cream cheese and your favorite beer, it is a delicious entree for a warm summer evening. Crisp cucumber slices and strips of pink-rare cold roast beef combine in this flavorful salad. Natural crispness, and virtual seedlessness suit the slender English hothouse cucumber (also known as a European, Holland, or Armenian cucumber) for this salad.
