From Caroline C. Shea's Good Housekeeping article on salads, this uncooked cream dressing uses beaten eggs blended into a base seasoned with dry mustard, sugar, and salt, enriched with heavy cream and carefully thinned with vinegar.
Original
Cream Dressing
Beat well two eggs. Stir the egg into a paste
made of one teaspoonful each of mustard, sugar
and water, and a little
salt. When thoroughly
and slowly united, add
one-half pint thick cream,
beating all the time, and
vinegar to taste; add the
vinegar carefully, that it
may not curdle.

By CAROLINE C. SHEA
In treating of salads the more com-
mon kinds will be avoided, as every
cook book contains full directions ; as
will also recipes for mayonnaise dress-
ing, as every cook has her own, or buys
some one of the many manufactured
varieties.
In making a salad, everything used
should be perfectly fresh and cold. A
salad is something which should appear
at least once a day on every table.
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.
