MANY WAYS OF MAKING SALAD

Mayonnaise Without an Egg Can Be Made With th« Aid of the Following Recipe.

Mayonnaise Without Egg. —Few people know one can make a perfect looking and perfect tasting stiff mayonnaise without an egg. Place a teaspoonful of plain mustard, mixed with » few drops of cold water. In a small bowk Add oil, not necessarily drop by drop, but still rather slowly. Stir vigorously all the while. As it thickens too much to handle comfortably, thin with lemon Juice or vinegar. A little tarragon vinegar is always a great addition to any salad. After the mayonnaise is finished season according to taste and discretion. There is hardly any limit to the quantity of oil that may be used. Less or more mustard may be used, but it must be borne in mind that it is the made mustard that holds the oil together. I generally make a large quantity of mayonnaise at once, using a dessertspoonful of mustard and as much oil as I can afford—enough for several meals. It keeps most excellently in a covered Jar in a cool place. New Salad.—Cut off crusts of white bread (fresh), cut in diamond shape and toast a light brown. On one-half a piece grate the yolk of hard boiled egg, on the other half white of 'egg minced fine, and then place on the slice a sardine; on this lay three strips of sweet green peppers, crossed, putting over the whole a nice mayonnaise dressing; the bread Is then placed in a nest of crisp lettuce leaves, and a thin slice of lemon is placed on each plate. This is a most appetizing way of serving sardines. Try it Philippine Salad.—Cut tomatoes, large white onions, green and sweet red peppers, also cucumbers, in very thin slices, add a good French dressing and let the salad stand for an hour at least on ice in a cool place. Garnish with crisp lettuce leaves before serving. This pretty dish if the different vegetables used are laid in separate circles, alternately. The seeds of the peppers must be carefully removed before they are sliced and the cucumbers peeled.
