PERFECTION IN SIMPLE SALAD DRESSING

No green salad should be brought to the
table unless it is fresh. crisp and cold. A
good dressing has often been spoiled by
salad that was not properly prepared

green salads. in fact-should be washed

bowl is not large enough to permit of the

1t arranged so that fringe of curly crisp
leaves surrounds the top of the salad
bowl. Pitted olives cut in half. a sprink-

dice. lard boiled eggs or golden discs of

for garnishing purposes. Flowers. wheels
and various geometric designs may be
carried out by the use of these garnishes
and by arranging the salad for the frame
work of the design if it lends itself to this
use. Oranges. apples, nuts, grapes. toma-
toes. green peppers, pimentos and grape
fruit are among the unusual but delicious
salad foundations which are reasonable
and wholesome. The dressing for each
of these. usually French dressing, must
be seasoned and blended with due regard
to the acdity or sweetness of the sala
foundation. The proportion OF vinegar
always depends upon this ac:dity.
