Adding Color
to Menus
By Hannah Wing

Winter menus sometimes lack the
abundance of color and flavor which is
so EARLY obtained in the summer
menu. Well cooked beets which should
be Of bright red color, tender, sue
culent and of good flavor can be used
in a variety of ways to give color
and sparkle TO the menu.
Beets are most appetizing when serv-
ed in combination with a little acid
which gives certain sharpness that
accentuates and brings out the true
flavor Of the beet.
BETS IN ASPIC.
Fill cooked beet shells with chopped
beet mixed with shredded celery, fine
ly cut cucumber and chopped nut
meats marinated with French dress
ing. Shredded cabbage may be used
in place of the cucumber. Serve the
beets on individual salad plates, gar
nished with chopped aspic. jelly, crisp
lettuce leaves and ripe olives.
BEET AND ANCHOVY SALAD.
Three large boiled beets, three
hard-cooked eggs, six anchovies curl
ed). Cut beets in halves, discarding
round ends. Marinate in French
dressing and chill. Remove the yolks
from the eggs and press through a
sieve. Chop the egg whites fine. Make
a ring Of the chopped whites around
the edge of each slice Of beet. Fill
in the center with the egg yolk and
place an anchovy on top. Serve each
slice on small crisp lettuce leaf
and garnish with mayonnaise dressing.
