Directions

1

The old-fashioned English salad is composed of a mixture in which lettuce is the chief part, but to which is added mustard-and-cress, beetroot, celery, cut up fine, spring onions, etc. The salad-dressing for this varies according to the tradition in the family. It is a compound of milk or cream, hard-boiled yolks of eggs powdered, made mustard, pepper and salt, vinegar used rather freely, anchovy sauce, etc. Oil, which ought to form the chief part of salad dress- ing, used to be dropped carefully as if it were some dangerous poison. Indeed, to a certain extent this was requisite, as the oil too often was grqen and rancid from having been kept too long. Perfectly pure oil, like perfectly pure butter, is almost, if not absolutely, tasteless.
