Take young dandelion leaves, trim off all the stem below the
leaf, and mix with a French dressing to which has been added onion
juice or chopped chives; use 1 tablespoon of either to each cup of
dressing. Hard-boiled eggs, sliced or chopped, are sometimes used to
garnish this salad.
PINK EGG SALAD
Boil 6 or 8 eggs for ten minutes, put in cold water for two or three
minutes, then peel and put in a jar of pickled beets, well covered
with vinegar. Let them stand a few hours and serve with the beets.
ENDIVE SALAD
Wash heads of endive and use the crisp, white, light leaves. Shake
dry and cover with French dressing. Add 1 teaspoon of minced onion
before dressing.
FETTICUS OR CORN SALAD
Wash 2 cups of fetticus and dry the leaves well, then cover with
French dressing, and add 1 teaspoon of grated onion.
GARDEN SALAD
Take a handful of sorrel, 2 sprigs of chervil, 4 leaves of tarragon
(or use tarragon vinegar), 1 teaspoon of chopped chives, and the
small leaves from the heart of a head lettuce. Blend all well with
French dressing.
GRAPE-FRUIT SALAD
Wash and shake dry the fine leaves from a head lettuce, and arrange
with them in layers very thin slices of grape-fruit; mix well with
French dressing before serving.
ITALIAN SALAD
Having prepared 2 nice heads of head lettuce, arrange them in the
salad bowl with 2 seedless oranges which have been neatly peeled,
and cut into thin slices with a very sharp knife. Season with salt and
pepper, and then mix thoroughly with French dressing. The oranges and
lettuce should have been chilled so that the salad will be very cold.
LETTUCE SALAD
Pull apart a fresh head lettuce, breaking the leaves neatly from the
stalk, and wash those that need it and shake them dry. Put in a salad
bowl with French dressing or sauce vinaigrette, and mix well together
before serving.
MACEDOINE SALAD
Open a glass or can of imported macedoine of vegetables, drain, and
cover with French dressing. Arrange with lettuce leaves in a bowl or
on separate plates. Freshness can be added by a tablespoon of chopped
chives, or shallots, or parsley.
SPECIAL MIXED SALAD
Use 1 cup of chopped tomato, 1 cup of chopped cucumber, 1/2 cup of
thinly sliced radishes, 1/2 cup of chopped apple, and 2 tablespoons
of the German pearl pickled onions. Mix all together with 1 cup of
mayonnaise, and arrange in a salad bowl with lettuce leaves, which
should be used to hold the salad in serving.
MUSHROOM SALAD
Select fresh, firm mushrooms that are small, wash them carefully
without peeling, and stir them in French dressing that contains
rather more oil than usual. Put 1 crisp lettuce leaf on each plate,
fill it with the mushrooms, sprinkle with salt and a little paprika,
and serve very cold.
