"O green and glorious, O herbaceous meat!
'Twould tempt the dying Anchorite to eat.
Back to the world he'd turn his weary soul
And dip his fingers in the salad bowl."
—Sidney Smith
Salade Rachel
tender offering from Nature's cuisine delightfully designed to promote digestive harmony and to bridge the gap between the entree and the demitasse.
For this dish earth yields such choice treasures as fresh truffles, artichokes, asparagus and celery—all laid in a crisp green basket of lettuce, while over all is spread the golden halo of mayonnaise.
Ah, could you but peek at the Congress artiste de cuisine as he prepares this masterpiece! See him as he skillfully blends the ingredients so that they fall into place like the notes of a beautiful symphony. Truly the salad maker, like the poet, is born, not made.
