A refreshing salad may be made from the sorrel found growing wild. Wash
it well, cut the stalks off, and dredge with salt, pepper, celery
salt, and then mix with oil, and sprinkle well with tarragon vinegar
and a little grated onion.
SPANISH SALAD
Remove the skins from large, solid tomatoes and 1 small cucumber,
take the seeds from 1 small sweet green pepper, pare 1 small Spanish
onion, and cut all in slices, making the peppers extremely thin. Mix
with 1 tablespoon of chopped nasturtium leaves or stems or seeds,
and cover with French dressing, mixing well. Let stand on ice an hour
before serving. Serve with cheese balls.
SUNDAY-NIGHT SALAD
Wash 1 large head of crisp head lettuce, separate the leaves, rejecting
all but perfect ones, and shake them dry. Put them in a large salad
bowl, and with them put 1 onion chopped very fine, 5 sliced tomatoes,
and the leaves from 3 or 4 sprigs of watercress. At the table dredge
the salad generously with salt, and sprinkle with black pepper,
covering the entire surface; then pour from an oil bottle 3 or 4
tablespoons of oil over the vegetables slowly, and follow this with
about 2 tablespoons of vinegar; add 1 tablespoon of tarragon vinegar,
then dredge with celery salt, and add a little cayenne, and mix all
together with a wooden fork and spoon, turning the whole mass over
and over ten or more times. The bowl may be well rubbed with garlic
and the onion omitted.
RUSSIAN TOMATO SALAD
Slice 5 or 6 very small tomatoes, and put with them 2 onions sliced
and divided into rings. Cover with French dressing.
SLICED TOMATO WITH CHIVES
Slice 4 tomatoes, put with them 3 tablespoons of chopped chives,
and cover with French dressing. Serve on lettuce leaves.
WALDORF SALAD
Use 1 cup of shelled walnuts, broken or chopped, 1 cup of diced tart
apple, 1 cup of crisp celery cut in small pieces, and mix well with
mayonnaise dressing. Serve on curly lettuce leaves.
WATERCRESS SALAD WITH ORANGES
Cut two inches off the bottom of a bunch of watercress with a sharp
knife, wash the cress thoroughly in ice-cold water, drain, and arrange
in a salad bowl with 3 seedless oranges cut in thin slices, and mix
all together with a dressing made of 1 tablespoon each of tarragon
vinegar, olive oil, and brandy; season well with salt and pepper,
and serve very cold.
Grape fruit can be substituted for the orange, or equal amounts of
orange and grape fruit used.
YOKOHAMA SALAD
Cut into small cubes 2 fresh cucumbers that have been on ice until
chilled and then peeled, and put with them 1 diced sour apple, 1
tablespoon of shredded pimentos, 1 small bunch of watercress (using
the leaves only), and 2 tablespoons of chopped mint leaves. Mix with
French dressing and serve on lettuce leaves.
