SALADS FRENCH DRESSING 3 tablespoonfuls of oil, 1 tablespoonful of vinegar, teaspoonful of salt. J teaspoonful of pepper. Mix the salt and pepper with the oil, then add slowly the vinegar, stirring all the time. It will become a little white and thickened. MAYONNAISE DRESSING To the yolk of an egg add oil very slowly until the mixture becomes very thick, then add alternately vinegar and oil. Lastly add salt and pepper. The proportions are one cupful of oil to one yolk, one half teaspoonful of salt, a dash of pepper, and one and a half tablespoonfuls of vinegar or lemon juice. More or less oil may be used, but it must be added very slowly at first or the mixture will curdle. Have all the ingredients cold before beginning to mix the dressing. (See "Century Cook Book," page 288.) CREAM DRESSING Add whipped cream to mayonnaise or plain cream to French dressing at the moment of mixing them with the salad. The proportions need not be exact : a little more or less cream can be used as convenient. Note.— An onion rubbed on the dish in which lettuce is to be served improves the salad. PREPARING SALADS
