Boiled fish, separated into individual
portions and masked with either a boiled
cream or mayonnaise dressing forms
the principal part OF many of the best
! liked fish salads. This often rests on n
bed OF shredded cabbage. moistened with
French dressing, and mounds OF several
different vegetables are used as a Dor =
der a cool looking combination fish
and vegetable salad Is entirely green
and white. the cream salad dressing
spread smoothly over the filet Of boiled
halibut being decorated with n design
in capers and rings cut from olives A
little mound of cold lima beans IL on
one side and a similar mound of cold
string beans on the other.
! Fla<ed bluefish makes a delicious
salad and Is particularly good served
in shells cut from cold boiled beets
which have been cooked in acidulated
water. with n bay leaf and a few pep
percorns. The filling should be piled
considerably higher than the surface of
the beet and masked with n thick cream
salad dressing, the whole resting on a
bed Of lettuce leaves. When such IA
salad IL made from leftovers Of nsh the
quantity of the filing can be increased
by the addition Of chopped hard boiled
eggs or bits Of cold boiled potato.
Some OF the jellied fish salads are at
tractively served in individual moulds
with sardine or a spiral of anchovy
framed In ring of tomato or green
pepper as decoration. Such a salad is
supposed to be eaten from the case or
shell in which 1t Is moulded. other jel-
lied fish salads have the decoration at
the bottom. so that when reversed on a
bed OF shredded cabbage or lettuce the
decoration will be in evidence. An I'M
sweetened lemon jelly. with n slight
naroring OF Madeira, Is one Of the
simplest forms of gelatine to use in this
way.
An unusual meat salad consists Of a
thin slice Of cold boiled ham curved to
represent a horn OF plenty. skewered
with a toothpick on the underside and
concealed by the filing Of potato and
celery salad This makes an attractive
appearance whether on a foundation Of
coldslaw or lettuce. The same idea can
be carried out with n freshly cut slice
or rare roast beef, the cornucopia filled
with any preferred combination of cold
vegetables mixed with salad dressing.
The familiar tomato surprise salad is
we'll suited to use with a filing OF what
ever cold meat chances to be in the
larder and the flavor Is often improved
by the addition Of bits of cold ham or
tongue in connection with another
meat. Cold lamb, favored with mint
sauce and mixed with celery mayon-
naise, makes a delicious filling for a
chilled tomato cup. In arranging a
salad Of this kind. small toma toes
should be selected so that the individual
portions. when filled with the meat and
vegetable mixture. will not be too
hearty.
Even cold beefsteak is utilized for
one OF the best liked meat salads. Thin
strips OF rare steak are placed crisis
cross on a fiat bed of lettuce with a
spoonful each of cold diced carrots,
beets and potatoes at intervals az
border. The dressing with this salad is
a thin mayonnaise mixed with chill
sauce and chopped parsley.
