HERRING SALAD, No. 1

and one dill pickle cut up. Then take the soft egg (milchner) and mix
with two cups of white vinegar until soft, add one teaspoon of sugar,
three cloves and allspice and pour the sauce over the ingredients. The
sauce should not be too thick. Mix all well together, and serve a
spoonful on a lettuce leaf for each person.

SALMON SALAD
Either cold boiled salmon or the canned variety may be used. In the
latter event wash the fish, in cold water, drain and expose to the
outside air for at least one hour, as this removes any suggestion of the
can. Flake the fish into small particles and to each cupful of the fish
add the same quantity of shredded lettuce,
