cut in dice, were added
and the whole was carefully mixed with the salad dressing. Cold boiled
veal or pork may be used instead of chicken for salad. Potato salad
was sometimes prepared by using a small quantity of this dressing,
adding, also, minced onion, parsley and celery. Hot slaw was prepared
by heating a couple of tablespoonfuls of the salad dressing and mixing
with shredded cabbage. Or use as a dressing for lettuce when not
served "Au Natural" with olive oil and vinegar at the table.

Should very _thick_, sour cream be used in making "Aunt Sarah's salad
dressing," use a mixture of sour cream and sweet milk, instead of all
sour cream.

"DUTCH" CUCUMBER SALAD

Thinly slice one large green cucumber and one medium-sized onion (if
liked). Sprinkle over about one teaspoonful of salt. Allow to stand a
short time, then place in a piece of cheese-cloth and squeeze out all
the moisture possible. Place cucumbers, when drained, in the dish in
which they are to be served, add a couple tablespoonfuls of sour
vinegar, mix well. Then pour over enough thick sour cream to half
cover and a dust of pepper. Cucumbers are considered less unwholesome,
prepared in this manner.

CARROT SALAD

Aunt Sarah pared and cut 1-1/2 cups of uncooked carrots in thin
strips, not much larger than common match sticks, and cooked in salted
water until tender. When drained, pour over them a couple of
tablespoonfuls of vinegar. Allowed to stand until cold. When ready to
prepare the salad she drained off vinegar remaining. Lined a salad
bowl with lettuce leaves or parsley, placed inside this a border of
halved or sliced cold hard-boiled eggs; mixed the carrots lightly with
salad dressing, placed them in the centre of the bowl and served ice
cold. This is a particularly delicious, as well as an appetizing
looking, salad. I have never eaten this elsewhere than at Aunt Sarah's
home.

"AN OLD RECIPE" FOR CHICKEN SALAD

Two dressed chickens were cooked tender. When cold, meat was removed
from bones and cut in dice (not too fine). Cut half the amount of
celery you have of meat into small pieces.

Dressing for salad was composed of the following: Three well-beaten
yolks of eggs. Pour over these 1 pint of boiling hot cider vinegar,
stand on back of range to thicken. Place in a bowl 3 freshly boiled
and finely mashed white potatoes, add 1 tablespoonful of dry mustard,
6 teaspoonfuls of olive oil, 1 tablespoonful of salt, 1 tablespoonful
of peppe
