The best salad dressing is rich
! French mayonnaise, which is made in
! the following manner: Beat the yolls
| of one egg-which has been previously
thoroughly cooled on ice-until it is
| quite frothy, then gradually pour in,
drop by drop sufficient quantity OF
the best olive oil to make it a thick
consistency. Add to this bit of mus
tard. pinch of salt, little pepper,
and Just "soupcon," as the French
say, of cayenne pepper. Dash in some
vinegar or lemon juice and you have a
splendid mayonnaise. OF all things
don't spoil it by adding sugar. Sugar
in mayonnaise is quite as bad as salt in
| ice-cream. The chicken meat should
be cut in little squares, or shredded
and portion of it served on lettuce
leaf, with the mayonnaise poured over
| IL. which makes a delicious salad.
