Fresh salad greens and vegetables
are buXom food Keep that fact
IN mind. When served with whole
grain breads, and some protein food,
such as eggs or fish, they can
rake even the heavy worker feel
satisfied. So keep your ration
points for dried beans and peas,
meat and other foods not obtain
able except with points. Your salad
vegetables need not be canned re-
member. Get them in local gardens
or at your vegetable stand and save
your points.
Use mixed green salads in large
bowls. The largenesS of the bowl
gives the food a bigger look, makes
l. seem more important. Serve
with French dressing, made Of veg
etable oil, vinegar or lemon juice
and srices. Use less vinegar or
lemon with vegetable oil than you
used 10 with olive oil Vegetable
oil is lighter.
Or try the old American recipe
for bacon dressing. Chop a piece
Of bacon and put it in hot frying
pen. Fry until is sizzleS in its own
drippings. Add tart vinegar little
at a time, and little brown sugar
Reduce heat and toss in washed
and dried salad greens. Toss until
greens are all wilted and covered
with the dressing. That's an old
fashioned and respected American
dish. War gives it new Importance
