[Salads, Sandwiches and Chafing-Dish Dainties by Janet McKenzie Hill]@TWC D-Link bookSalads, Sandwiches and Chafing-Dish Dainties INTRODUCTION 64/133
Cut a thoroughly chilled cucumber in dice; put the cucumber on a bed of lettuce leaves in the bottom of the bowl, and the roe, well drained, above; mask with mayonnaise,--nearly a cup will be required,--in the top insert a few heart leaves of lettuce, and place around the centre of the mound a circle of cucumber slices overlapping one another; or alternate these with lozenges cut from pickled beet. =Boudins-de-Saumon Salad.= Butter four small dariole moulds, or small cups; sprinkle the butter with chopped parsley.
Select four small pieces of cooked salmon, dry on a soft cloth so as to remove all oily liquor, and put a piece in each mould.
Beat two eggs (or, better, one egg and the yolks of two) slightly, season with one-fourth a teaspoonful of salt, a dash of paprica and a few drops of anchovy essence or onion juice; add half a cup of milk, and, when well mixed, pour into the moulds around the fish. Set the moulds in a pan of hot water and bake until the custard is set. Do not let the water boil.
Chill thoroughly, then turn from the moulds on to lettuce leaves.
Serve with a star of mayonnaise dressing on the top of each _boudin_. =Russian Salad.= (BOSTON COOKING-SCHOOL.) INGREDIENTS. 1 cup of carrots. 1 cup of potatoes. 1 cup of peas. 1 cup of beans (flageolets preferred). 6 tablespoonfuls of oil. 3 tablespoonfuls of vinegar. 1 teaspoonful of salt. 1/4 a teaspoonful of pepper. A head of lettuce. 1 cup of mayonnaise. 1 cup of shrimps. 1/4 a lb.
