|
DIRECTIONS
Put all the dry materials in a bowl or cup, and slowly add the vinegar, then the oil, stirring constantly with a silver fork. Beat with the fork for two or three minutes.
REMARKS
Part of the vinegar used may be taragon, if desired.
A piece of ice the size of a marble may, with good results, be put in the cup while mixing the dressing; in any case, the oil should be very cold.
Any of the following may be added to the dressing, according to individual taste:
- ¼ teaspoon mustard
- ½ teaspoon onion juice
- ⅛ teaspoon finely chopped parsley
- 1 teaspoon chopped pimento
- 2 chopped olives
- 1 small pickle—chopped
- ½ hard-boiled egg—chopped.
If any of the dressing is left over, it should be put in the ice-box, and then beaten again with a fork before using.
