;
pour a pint of mayonnaise over the salad just before serving. A neat way
is to serve the salad in individual salad dishes, lining each dish with
a lettuce leaf, garnish the salad with an olive stuck up in the center
of each portion.
The bones of the chicken may be used for soup, letting them simmer in
water to cover for three hours.
BRAIN SALAD
Scald brains with boiling hot water to cleanse thoroughly. Boil until
tender, in fresh cold salt water, being careful to remove from water
while it is yet firm. Slice lengthwise and lay in dish. Pour over
one-half cup of vinegar, which has been sweetened with a pinch of sugar
to remove sharp taste, pinch of salt and pepper. Garnish with parsley
and serve cold. Can also be served with mayonnaise.
SWEETBREAD SALAD
Take cucumbers and cut lengthwise to serve the salad in; scrape out the
inside and salt well, then squeeze and use this to mix with the filling.
Take a pair of sweetbreads, or calf's brains, wash well, and boil; when
done, throw in cold water at once and skim them; chop fine, add bunch of
celery (if you can get it), one can of French peas, scraped part of
cucumber; mix all together and season. Make a mayonnaise, mix with it,
and fill the cucumber shells; keep all cold, and serve on lettuce leaf.
VEAL SALAD
Cut cold veal in half-inch slices, season with two tablespoons of
vinegar, pinch of salt and pepper. Make a dressing using the yolks of
three hard-boiled eggs, mashed smooth, add gradually two tablespoons of
melted cold chicken or turkey grease, stir until smooth and thick, then
add one teaspoon of prepared mustard, large pinch of salt and pepper,
one teaspoon of sugar, one teaspoon each of mustard and celery seed, and
five tablespoons of white vinegar. Mix the dressing well with the veal,
and serve with or without lettuce leaves.
NEAPOLITAN SALAD
Take some white meat of a turkey, cut up fine, cut up a few pickles the
same way, a few beets, one or two carrots, a few potatoes (the carrots
and potatoes must be parboiled), also a few stalks of asparagus; chop up
a bunch of crisp, white celery; a whole celery root (parboiled),
sprinkle all with fine salt and pour a mayonnaise dressing over it. Line
the salad bowl with lettuce leaves or white cabbage leaves. Add a few
hard-boiled eggs and capers; garnish with sprigs of fresh parsley.
POLISH SALAD, OR SALAD PIQUANT
Lay half a dozen or more large salt pickles in water for about six
hours,
