  16      oz            Can shoestring beets
   1                    Env unflavored gelatin
     1/4  c             Sugar
   1      ds            Salt
   3      tb            Lemon juice
     1/2  sm            Cucumber -- thinly sliced
                        Lettuce

Drain beets, reserving liquid; set aside. In small saucepan, combine
gelatin, sugar, and salt. Add enough water to beet liquid to make
1-3/4 cups liquid. Add to gelatin mixture. Cook and stir over low
heat until gelatin dissolves. Stir in lemon juice. Pour about 3/4 cup
of the gelatin mixture into a 3-1/2 or 4 cup ring mold. Arrange
cucumber slices in bottom of mold. Chill both gelatin mixtures until
larger amount is partially set. Stir drained beets into larger amount
of gelatin. Spoon over cucumbers in mold. Chill until firm. Unmold
onto lettuce-lined serving plate.

Garnish with additional cucumber slices, if desired.
