SALAD DRESSING
1 cup mayonnaise 1/4 cup olive oil Yolk 1 hard-boiled egg 2 teaspoons Tarragon vinegar 1 tablespoon olives chopped 1 tablespoon mashed pimentos 2 tablespoons chopped green peppers 1½ cup chili sauce 1 teaspoon onion juice Put the cooked egg-yolk through a sieve, add to it gradually the olive oil and vinegar, stir until smooth, add mayonnaise, onion juice, olives, peppers, pimentos and last the chili sauce. Serve ice cold with white head lettuce and crisp crackers.
To make a perfect salad, there should be a "miser for vinegar, a spendthrift for oil, a wise man for salt and a madcap to mix them all together," is still a good rule to remember.
Yours sincerely, Ralph Herz
