Wash and shake dry the fine white centre of endive or chicory,
and arrange with it quartered tomatoes from which the skin has been
removed; serve with a French dressing to which a tablespoon of chopped
parsley, 1/2 teaspoon of chopped onion, and 1 finely chopped egg has
been added.
PHILADELPHIA SALAD
Select large tomatoes, remove the skins by putting in boiling
water, cut out the inside, and refill with finely chopped pineapple,
celery, and apple in equal proportions, all well blended with plain
mayonnaise. Serve on lettuce leaves on separate plates, or use
watercress instead of lettuce.
PIMENTO SALAD WITH CHEESE BALLS
Mix 2 Neufchâtel cheeses with 1 cup of grated cheese, and when creamed
together add 6 olives stoned and chopped fine and 1 teaspoon of
chopped pimento; season generously with salt and pepper, moisten with
cream, and mould into balls an inch and a quarter through. Pimolas
(which are olives stuffed with pimentos) can of course be used if
more convenient, and a few drops of onion extract or a very little
onion juice adds piquancy to the cheese balls. Take lettuce which has
been in cold water and is therefore crisp, shake it dry, and arrange
with it pimentos cut in long half-inch strips, mix thoroughly with
a French dressing, and garnish with the cheese balls.
POLISH SALAD
Use boiled beets, sliced and mixed with French dressing, and over
all sprinkle chopped white of hard-boiled egg.
A little grated horse-radish is sometimes used with good effect in
beet salad.
GERMAN POTATO SALAD
Boil 6 medium-sized potatoes, and after draining shake them over
the fire a moment or two to dry; then peel and slice while warm, and
cover at once with a dressing made of 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 saltspoon
of black pepper, 1 tablespoon of chopped parsley, 1 chopped onion,
5 tablespoons of oil, and 3 tablespoons of vinegar. Mix and let stand
on ice for an hour or so, then put with crisp lettuce leaves in a
salad bowl, and garnish with chopped boiled or pickled beets.
AMERICAN POTATO SALAD
Mix cold sliced boiled potatoes with mayonnaise dressing and add 1
tablespoon of capers.
RED POTATO SALAD
Use equal quantities of boiled beets (canned ones are convenient)
and boiled potatoes. Dice both and mix well together, adding 1
tablespoon of vinegar. Let stand until the potatoes are reddened,
then add 1 tablespoon of grated onion, mix well with French dressing,
and garnish with slices of hard-boiled egg. Place in a salad bowl,
with fine white cabbage or crisp lettuce leaves.
ROMAINE SALAD
Pick over crisp heads of romaine, let stand a few minutes in cold
water, then shake until dry, and serve with French dressing to which
grated onion is added, using 1 teaspoon of it to each cup of dressing.
SOUTHERN SALAD
To 2 cups of cold boiled rice add 2 chopped hard-boiled eggs and
blend well with mayonnaise. Arrange on crisp lettuce leaves with a
garnish of egg slices, and beet, and sliced olives.
