Grape Fruit Salad ( Salade de Pomelo) Select a nice grape fruit, cut in halves, then remove the meat from each section; put in a glass bowl in pyramid style, garnish all around with small white crisp leaves of lettuce — just a few leaves, do not cover the salad; put spoonfuls of mayonnaise dressing all around. Garnish the mayonnaise dressing with truffles and maraschino cherries. Serve very cold. This is a delicious salad for luncheon or dinner. Sweetbread Salad ( Salade au Ris de Veau) Cook sweetbreads from eighteen to twenty minutes in water, with pepper, salt, carrots, and onions; leave in the broth until cold. When cold, cut the sweetbreads in dices about half inch square, mix with some chopped lettuce (or celery, if in season); add some mayonnaise dressing — to each cup three tablespoons of the dressing; garnish the salad bowl with nice romaine lettuce (if romaine is not at hand, the other lettuce will do); put the salad in the centre in pyramid style, cover with some very thick mayonnaise dressing; garnish with Spanish pepper, chopped truffles, and slices of egg that are decorated with Spanish pepper and truffles. This is a delicious salad for luncheon, dinner, or supper. Grape Fruit Salad ( Salade de Pomelo ) a la Irene Cut the grape fruit, forming a handle as you cut it.
