salt to taste, and a little chopped parsley, stir well and pour over the sliced cucumbers. 1512. Salade de Concombre et, Celeri {Celery and Cucumber Salad), — This is one of the finest salads, though not much known. Wash some white celery according to the quantity required ; cut it lengthways into fine strips or shreds, and throw it into iced water for about half an hour. Peel a cucumber very thinly, and cut in the same way as the celery. Drain the latter and put it in a bowl with the cucumber, season with salt and pepper, and mix it well with mayonnaise dressing. Heap it up in the bowl, wipe the sides of the bowl with a damp cloth, surround the salad with a border of small red radishes, garnish with slices of hard-boiled eggs, sprinkle over a little finely chopped French gherkin and parsley, and serve. Ordinary salad dressing, oil and vinegar or so called vinaigrette sauce, will do as well if mayonnaise sauce is not handy or convenient to use. 1518. Salade de Chicoree (. Endive Salad). — Trim and wash well a nice endive, divide into small pieces, drain and dry in a cloth or salad basket, put it in a salad bowl, season with pepper and salt, pour over some salad dressing (No. 1554), and mix thoroughly.
