SALAD
CHAPTER I
GREEN SALADS
(HERBACEOUS PLANTS)
Lettuce
LETTUCE IS very justly considered to be the queen of salads. Sixty species or so are known, the chief of which is the cultivated kitchen garden annual. There are a hundred and fifty varieties of this, and they may be divided into three distinct classes: (1) The cabbage lettuce; (2) the curly leaved lettuce; and (3) the cos, or Roman, lettuce, with long straight leaves.
The plant is called laitue (i.e. milky) in French because of the milky sap which it contains. It is agreed on all hands that it has nourishing and digestive properties, and possesses soothing and slightly somniferous properties.
Lettuce salad aux fines herbes
Remove the outside leaves. Pluck the other leaves separately, and break them into several pieces. Cut the hearts in two, or if they are small leave them whole. Wash the leaves in plenty of cold water, drain and put them into a salad basket or napkin. Shake the basket or napkin vigorously to free the salad from moisture, and put it into a salad bowl with chopped aromatic herbs, three dessert spoonfuls of oil to one of vinegar, half a teaspoonful of salt, and three pinches of pepper for a salad for four persons. Sprinkle the vinegar over the leaves to begin with, dissolve the salt and pepper in it, then add the oil and mix thoroughly with a salad fork and spoon.
The ingredients must be added in this order; otherwise, if the oil is put in first, the leaves impregnated with it will not absorb the vinegar. As for the pepper, it is better to grind it than to use already ground pepper, which has left the best part of its aroma at the grocer’s. Of course, it is of the highest importance that the vinegar and oil should be of first quality.
Green salads should be dressed immediately before serving.
Lettuce Salads with Plovers’ Eggs
Prepare three lettuces as in the previous recipe. Boil six plovers’ eggs for eight minutes, put them into cold water, then shell and divide lengthways. Put the lettuce in a salad bowl with a handful of cress, some chopped chervil and tarragon, three tablespoonfuls of oil, one of white vinegar, half a teaspoonful of salt, and a sprinkling of pepper. Mix all up lightly and arrange the cut plovers’ eggs on the top with the white upwards.
Cuite
or Confite
Salad
The French call a green salad cuite
or confite
when it has been prepared some hours in advance, and the leaves have become flaccid by remaining too long in the oil and vinegar.
They retain their flavour, but lose all the crispness which should be the chief virtue of a salad, and are flabby and discoloured.
In spite of this, plenty of people prefer these salads.
Corn Salad
Corn salad, also called lamb’s lettuce, is a winter salad, sown in September and October. It is all the more appreciated since it comes on the market when other green salads are scarce.
Corn salad is eaten without chervil or other garnish, which would hide its delicate flavour; but, on the other hand, it is at its best when eaten with beetroot.
Lettuce Salad with Hard Eggs
Prepare the lettuce as before, and when the salad is mixed decorate it with quarters of hard eggs, first dipped in oil and vinegar, and sprinkle with pepper and salt.
Cos-lettuce Salad
The cos lettuce is crisper and keeps fresh longer than the cabbage lettuce. In preparing it, the coarse outer leaves must be put aside.
After well washing and drying it, prepare the ordinary dressing with chopped chives, chervil, and tarragon.
This lettuce, as its (French) name (Romaine) indicates, originally came from Italy, and was imported into France by Rabelais, it is said.
Cos-lettuce Salad à la crème
The dressing is as in the previous recipe, with the exception that the oil is replaced by three tablespoonfuls of cream.
Cos-lettuce Salad with Tomatoes
Choose good firm tomatoes and dip them into boiling water so that they will skin easily. Cut them into slices and put them on a plate, and season before adding them to the lettuce, which is dressed as
