CHICKEN SALAD.
One pair of chickens, eight bunches of celery, six eggs, one dessert spoonful of mustard, nearly a bottle of oil, pepper and salt. Boil the chickens; take off the skins: cut them up in small pieces; sprinkle them with pepper, salt and vinegar, and let them lie three hours; moisten the mustard with vinegar; then pour in the oil, a few drops at a time, and keep constantly stirring it; have the eggs boiled hard; mash them up with a little vinegar, and then mix with the oil; cut up your celery very fine and throw it into cold water; when the ingredients are all ready, mix the chicken and celery; (after draining it) then pour the dressing over it. Curl some pieces of celery by cutting it up about an inch and throwing it into cold water, with which garnish the dish.
