Arrange on salad dish, surround with romaine, and garnish with three peeled mushroom caps and six Brazil wut meats. |

Macédoine Salad

Marinate separately cold cooked cauliflower, peas, and car-, rots cut in small cubes, and outer stalks of celery finely cut. Arrange peas and carrots in alternate piles in centre of a salad dish. Pile cauliflower on top. Arrange celery in four piles at equal distances. At top of each pile place a small zherkin cut lengthwise in very thin slices, beginning at blossom end and cutting nearly to stem end. Open slices to represent a fan.
