GOOD FOOD.
GREAT HISTORY.

Editorial context

Contributed by Caroline C. Shea in her Good Housekeeping feature on salads, this cold vegetable salad layers trimmed cold asparagus spears on a platter beneath cold green peas (with rinsed canned peas suggested as an option) and small lettuce leaves. The author suggests dressing it with either French dressing, cream dressing, or mayonnaise.

Original

Asparagus Salad Take cold asparagus and cut off the hard parts, place in an even row in a platter, cover with a layer of cold, green peas (well washed, canned peas will do) garnish with tiny leaves of lettuce, and use French or cream dressing. Of course mayonnaise may always be used.

Salad Preparation Guidance

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 expensive 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.
