Ingredients

  • a saltspoonful of salt
  • a large spoonful of oil
  • four additional spoonsful of oil
  • 1 spoonful
  • 5 saladspoonsful
  • 2 spoonsful
  • salt
  • pepper
  • vinegar

Directions

1

Stir a saltspoonful of salt and half as much pepper into a large spoonful of oil, and when the salt is dissolved, mix with them four additional spoonsful of oil, and pour the whole over the salad; let it be _well_ turned, and then add a couple of spoonsful of tarragon vinegar; mix the whole thoroughly, and serve it without delay. The salad should not be dressed in this way until the instant before it is wanted for table: the proportions of salt and pepper can be increased at pleasure, and common or cucumber vinegar may be substituted for the tarragon, which, however, is more frequently used in France than any other.

2
