, and garnish with more watercress.

POTATO SALAD (1).

Boil potatoes that are firm and waxy when cooked, and cut them in
slices; let them soak in 1/2 gill of water, grate a small onion and
mix it with these; add pepper, salt, vinegar, and oil to taste. The
quantity of oil should be about three times the amount of the vinegar
used. Eat with Allinson wholemeal bread.

POTATO SALAD (2).

1 lb. of cold boiled potatoes, 1 small beetroot, some spring onions,
olives, 4 tablespoonfuls of vinegar, 2 of salad oil, a little tarragon
vinegar, salt, pepper, minced parsley. Cut the potatoes in small
pieces, put these into a salad bowl, cut up the onions and olives, and
add them to the potatoes. Mix the vinegar, oil, tarragon vinegar,
salt, and pepper well together, pour it into the salad bowl, and stir
it well. Garnish with beetroot and parsley.

SPANISH SALAD.

Put into the centre of the bowl some cold dressed French beans or
scarlet runners, and before serving pour over some good mayonnaise.
Garnish the beans with three tomatoes cut in slices and arranged in a
circle one overlapping the other.

SUMMER SALAD.

1 large lettuce, 1 head endive, mustard and cress, watercress, 2
spring onions, 2 tomatoes, two hard-boiled eggs. Shred the lettuce,
endive, onions, tomatoes, and cress, place in a salad bowl with
mayonnaise dressing, decorate with slices of egg and tomato and tufts
of cress.

SUMMER SALADS.

These are made from mixtures of lettuce, spring onions, cucumber,
tomatoes, or any other raw or cooked green foods, pepper, salt, oil,
and vinegar. Cold green peas, French beans, carrots, turnips, and
lettuce make a good cold salad for the summer.

WINTER SALAD.

Cut up 1 lb. of cold boiled potatoes, grate fine 1 onion and mix with
these, add watercress, or mustard and cress, and boiled and sliced
beetroot; flavour with pepper, salt, oil, and vinegar as above.
Hard-boiled eggs may be cut into slices and added, and sliced apples
or pieces of orange may be advantageously mixed with the other
ingredients.

When oranges are added to a salad the onion must be left out.
