Evening Republican, Volume 14, Number 203, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 26 August 1910 — Onion Salad. [ARTICLE]

Onion Salad.

When baking, new beets allow two extra ones for this salad, as the baked beets has a finer flavor than plain boiled beets. Spiced beets can be used or canned beets, but the baked beets give preference. Cut the beets into quarter-inch slices, then into strips. Cut a medium-sized Spanish onion into quarters, then slices. Scald and drain quickly and while still hot marinate with a spoonful of fresh dressing and let cool. If yon have enough tender white celery to make a cupful into dice, add to the beets and onion. Also a tablespoonful of capers or chopped pickles. Season to taste with salt and pepper, mix and mask with a good dressing.
