tables are used they should be fresh
and crisp and usually the salad is bet
ter II mixed just before serving. not
to destroy the crispness as that is
the chief charm of n salad.
tn kind OF salad dressing to use de-
pends upon the combination and upon
the taste of the persons to be served.
The simple French dressing Is one that
Is most commonly liked and one which
Is so easily prepared that 1t appeals
to the busy housewife. One part of
strong vinegar to three parts oil is
usually sufficiently acid, then with the
addition of salt and red pepper to
taste, when well beaten and allowed
to chill 1t is ready to serve.
A touch Of garlic or onion is liked
for flavor in many vegetable salads.
This may be obtained by rubbing n cut
Glove of garlic over the inside of the
salad bowl or rubbing n piece of bread
which Is placed in the bottom of the
bowl to season the whole dish. This
Is called n chapon. This bread may
be in one piece or in small cubes and
served with the salad II liked.
When parsley is to be used gather
well washed bunch in the hand and
with a sharp knife shred it very fine ;
gather the leaves closely with the
fingers, then chop the parsley with the
knife until very fine. Put the finely
chopped herb in n cloth and hold un-
der stream of water. wiring dry and
use this green powder to dust over
the salad.
Radlshes may be cut to look like
tulips. With sharp knife score the
red skin at the root end into five or
six sections extending up the radish
nearly to the stem, then loosen the
skin and place in cold water when
they will become crisp and the points
will stand out like the petals of a
flower.
Small pickles or gherkins may be
cut In very thin slices lengthwlse with
out detaching at one end. then spread
out the slices as a fan is spread. Use
as garnish.
Cucumbers are delicious served
sliced with sour cream dressing
This is especially well liked by the
Germans.
