GOOD FOOD.
GREAT HISTORY.

Editorial context

This cooked salad dressing from Caroline C. Shea's article on salads offers a boiled custard-style alternative to mayonnaise and oil dressings. The recipe references seasoning ratios given in preceding dressing recipes ("Mix mustard, salt, and sugar as above"), combining them with beaten eggs, milk, and butter in a double boiler before finishing with vinegar.

Original

Cooked Dressing Mix mustard, salt, and sugar as above, add slowly two well-beaten eggs, a cup of milk, and put in a double boiler to cook with half a cup of butter. Stir until thick and smooth, then add vinegar to taste.

Dressings

Olive oil, in most cases, is the one thing essential to a perfect salad, but as many do not like it and others think it too ex- pensive for general use several kinds of dressing will be given. All vegetables used in making salads should after washing be put to drip in a cool place.
