SALADS.
A salad dressing requires a spendthrift for oil, a judge for
salt, a miser for vinegar, and a madman to mix them.— Spanish
Proverb.
French vinegar must always be used with oil. ' Malt vine-
gar imparts a very disagreeable taste to the salad, for which the
oil is often blamed.
When preparing lettuce, place a little water in bottom of
deep dish, and put in lettuces, then cover with muslin or thin
calico, wetted, and they will keep_ beautifully crisp. Either tear
up the lettuce with your fingers, or cut with a silver knife.
Salad should not be too wet, and, when mixed, all the oil
and vinegar should adhere to the lettuce, etc., -and not be in the
bowl. Nothing but practice will teach the exact quantity of oil
and vinegar to use. It is impossible to give the exact quantities,
as the lettuce may vary in size. A salad in which cucumber is
used will always be more moist than one made of lettuce alone.
Beetroot Salad.
2 boiled Beetroots, 2 Eggs (hard boiled). Salt, Pepper, Oil, Vinegar.

lound a glass disli.; season, and pour over a little oil and vinegar.
