Cucumber Salad

Mrs. King.

Take a dozen ripe "white spine" cucumbers; wash, pare and cut into strips, taking out the seeds; cut into pieces, like small dice; to each dozen cucumbers, take twelve large white onions chopped ; six large green peppers, also chopped; one-quarter pound each of black and white mustard seed, and a gill of celery seed ; mix all well together; add a teacup of salt, and hang up in a cotton bag to drain for twenty-four hours. Then add enough clear cold vinegar to cover it; put into stone jars and fasten nearly air tight. In six weeks it will be fit for use. Excellent.

Tomato Salad

Miss Spruance.

Twelve tomatoes, peeled and sliced; four eggs, boiled hard; one egg (raw) well beaten; one teaspoon salt; one-half teaspoon cayenne pepper; one teaspoon sugar; one teacup of vinegar; set on ice to become perfectly cold.

Dressing Foe Salad

Mrs. Hoge.

Two raw eggs, one tablespoon of butter, eight tablespoons of vinegar; one-half teaspoon of mustard; put in a bowl over boiling water and stir until it becomes like cream ; pepper and salt to your taste.

Salad Dressing

Mrs. A. A. Carpenter.

The yolks of four eggs, two-thirds of a cup of oil, red pepper, salt and mustard to taste; the juice of two lemons, and last of all, one cup of thick cream. If the dressing is for chicken salad, use the oil or fat from the chicken instead of sweet oil. Be sure and put the cream in last, just before sending to table.

Salad Dressing

M. A. T.

Take the yolks of two raw eggs, beat with them one teaspoon of made mustard; this mustard should be mixed with water, not vinegar; then add to this, drop by drop, olive oil, stirring constantly until the mixture becomes very thick; then add two teaspoons of powdered sugar and a scant one of salt; mix thoroughly; squeeze in the juice of one lemon; beat well, and if too thick, thin with a little sweet cream. If preferred, omit the lemon and cream, and use vinegar. This dressing with lettuce, celery or potato, makes a delicious salad. If needed for chicken salad, the yolks of hard boiled eggs added make it richer. Garnish lettuce with nasturtium blossoms and sliced lemon. Garnish potatoes with cold boiled beets, chopped parsley and sliced lemon.
