is sALADs
  By FLORENCE IMLAY
 V Salads offer the housewife a held in which to exercise her in—
i gcnuity and taste for variety. A few olives, a little onion or chive,
 _` a dash of spice, a bit of cheese or a new garnish, may transform an
 _ old dish into a new one. Salads can be made simple or elaborate to
`  suit the occasion, and are an excellent way of using left—overs.
REQUIREMENTS OF A GOOD SALAD
ig  — .·\ltho there are no basic recipes for salads from which a house-
   c wife can build new ones, there are certain definite standards to
’{   which all salads must comply in order to be interesting and ap-
; petixiug. They must be cold, have a pleasing combination of flav-
 `L ors, be colorful and attractively arranged, have the food ingredients
in such a form that all the components can be identihed and have
 —` all the salad greens crisp.
  PREPARATION OF SALAD
I 1. Clean carefully and wash fresh vegetables before chilling. i
i 2. Chill all ingredients before using. Wrap lettuce, celery, Chinese
· cabbage and other vegetables in a towel or place in a vegetable bag.
, and keep on ice or in a cool place. Cabbage which is not crisp.
should be kept in cold water one—half to three—quarte1·s of an hour
before chilling.
3. Use only the more tender and desirable parts of vegetables for
salads.
4. Dice, slice or quarter vegetables and fruits but never mash them.
. Tomatoes should be sliced or quartered, as they are too watery to
, cut in small cubes. Meat and fish should be cooked and then cut
  in small cubes or flaked. (All skin, gristle and bones should be re-
  moved.)
l .
I 5. Dry all fresh vegetables to prevent making the salad dressing
l watery.

7. Marinate such foods as potato, macaroni, chicken or fish and la i
stand until well S€8SOI'1€d.* Cherries
8. Use shredded lettuce, cabbage or spinach or a leaf of lettuce ag;} Cmuamo;
bed for the salad. Sliced pe
9. Give color to a salad by the addition of green or red peppers. Mint jell
pimientos, grated carrots or beets, maraschino cherries, 11npealed V lli11t leal
apples, etc. Parsley
10. Keep apples from discoloring by squeezing lemon juice over u1gm_ ROSE E€1`¤
11. Preserve the crispness of salads by combining ingredients just be- 5_ ,
fore serving.
