Directions
-
they should never be ground in a grinder; rather, they should be chopped or
-
cut into small pieces with a knife.
-
After being so prepared, they should be added to the salad just before it is put on the table.
-
This is a matter that should not be overlooked, for if the salad is allowed to stand very long after the nuts are added they will discolor the dressing and cause the salad to become dark and gray looking.
-
as chicken, veal, lobster, or crab, the ingredients are usually marinated with a sour dressing of some description before the salad dressing is added.
-
As is explained in Essentials of Cookery, Part 2, marinating involves the seasoning of meat or fish by means of vinegar or French dressing.
-
The preparation used to
-
marinate salad ingredients may be plain vinegar to which salt and pepper are added, or it may be a French dressing, which is prepared by mixing vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper in the proper proportions.
-
Whichever preparation is used should be poured over the materials after they are
-
cut or prepared for the salad, and only enough to moisten each piece slightly should be used.
-
The ingredients should then be carefully mixed with the dressing to avoid breaking or crushing them and should be allowed to stand in a cold
-
place for a few minutes.
-
Then they should be drained so that none of the material used to
-
marinate them remains on the salad when the other dressing is added.
-
With this done, the salad is ready for whatever salad dressing is to be used.
-
string beans, etc.
-

-
This sort of preparation involves a little more work, it is true, but it usually produces such gratifying results that it justifies the expenditure of the extra effort.
-
In the first
-
place , a slightly smaller amount of salad dressing will be required when the ingredients are marinated and, in addition, a better looking dish can be made, for the dressing need not be mixed with the salad but merely placed on top.
-
marinate a salad, she should at least
-
mix thoroughly with salt and pepper the ingredients that require seasoning.
-
The fact that a salad should be a well and highly seasoned dish must never be overlooked.
-
As can be readily understood, a bland salad without character is never so appetizing as one that is crisp, fresh, well made, and properly
