Lettuce Salad. Time—½ hour.
1 lettuce, ¼ beetroot, 1 bunch cress, ½ bunch radishes, 1 egg, pepper and salt to taste, ¼ teaspoonful made mustard, 2 tablespoonfuls salad oil, 3 tablespoonfuls vinegar.
Wash the lettuce thoroughly, pull it to pieces with the fingers, dry it in a coarse cloth. Wash the radishes, halve them; wash and pick the cress. Boil the egg hard, cut the white into pieces, and mix it with the salading. Pass the yolk through a sieve, and mix carefully with it the pepper, salt, mustard, oil and vinegar. This dressing should be poured over the salad and very thoroughly mixed with it. Ornament with small pieces of beetroot.
If preferred, use 3 tablespoonfuls of oil to 2 of vinegar.
