SALADS

Salads are a popular summer dish. They should be made from fresh
vegetables which contain the health-giving elements that are so
vitally essential for our physical well-being. There are also the
mineral salts which help purify the blood stream and thus keep us
physically fit.

Eggs, etc., that are used in preparing the dressings have a food value
that may be figured upon in our daily ration. Heavy salads, composed
of meat, are best to be eliminated for the hot weather. Replace them
with light, dainty, attractive salads, that are not only appetizing
but also easily digested.

The making of a successful salad is an art indeed. The proper blending
of the various ingredients and then using a well-blended dressing and
garnishing, so that it will not only satisfy the eye but will tempt
the palate as well; that is a real salad.

The proper combinations are very important; harmony must prevail. As,
for instance, a combination of beets, tomatoes and carrots would not
only be inartistic but also a poor combination of foods. Care must be
taken in preparing the lettuce or other greens used. All plants that
form into heads must be separately and thoroughly washed in order to
free them from dirt and insects, and then they should be given a final
washing in water that contains one tablespoon of salt to every two
quarts, then rinsed in ice water. The bath in salt water will remove
the tiny and almost invisible mites and slugs that cling to these
greens.

Many varieties of salad dressing may be prepared from mayonnaise or
from the dressing purchased in bottles. When the housewife fails
to make a good mayonnaise dressing, or the family is small, a good
standard dressing already prepared may be purchased and used in the
following recipes:
