Ecco Salad Dressing

3 tablespoons cornstarch 3 tablespoons sugar 2 cups weak vinegar

2 egg yolks 1 teaspoon mustard 1/8 teaspoon celery seed or celery salt

Mix the dry ingredients together, moistening with a half cup of the vinegar. Add them to the remainder of vinegar, boiling on the stove, and cook until thick and clear. While beating constantly, pour a little of this thickened mixture into the well-beaten yolks of two eggs, stir until blended, and return to mixture on stove. Cook two minutes below the boiling point. Salad dressings are likely to curdle if raised to the boiling point after the eggs are added.

Golden Or Fruit Salad Dressing

2 whole eggs

3 tablespoons lemon juice

1/4 cup sugar

5 tablespoons pineapple juice

Beat eggs, add other ingredients, cook over hot water until mixture coats the spoon like cream. Remove at once as there is enough heat in mixture to finish cooking. The juice of white cherries, pears, or oranges may be substituted for that of the pineapple.

This may be served as it is or mixed with an equal amount of whipped cream. Good for all fruit, but not vegetable salads.

Fruit Salad

Pears, very ripe, or canned, make a splendid economical foundation for almost any fruit salad. Apples and bananas are the other foundation fruits. These three may be combined, in almost any proportion, into a very acceptable salad. White cherries, grapes, pineapple and oranges are the fruits that tone up and lend flavor to these more common foundation fruits. Golden Salad Dressing - alone or combined with whipped cream - will make any fruit or combination of fruits, into a delightful salad.
