CELERY SALAD
2 heads of celery.
3 hard-boiled eggs (or else 1 cup of English walnuts).
½ cup of very stiff mayonnaise.
Wash, wipe, and cut the celery into pieces as large as the first joint of your little finger, and then rub it in a clean towel till it is as dry as can be. Cut up the eggs, sprinkle all with salt, and add the mayonnaise and lay on lettuce. Or mix the celery and the walnuts and mayonnaise; either salad is nice.
