The mayonnaise dressing is made by stirring the 4 yolks of eggs into cream; add lemon juice, mustard, pepper and salt and cook in double boiler until thick, stirring constantly. After it has cooled off, stir in the oil.
The salad is mixed carefully with one half of this dressing. The head lettuce leaves are picked off and placed into the salad dish, the salad piled up in the center of it and the rest of the dressing poured over. You may garnish it with olives. This is a very fine salad.
