Colored Mayonnaise

Mayonnaise may be colored green in the following manner: Boil two cups of spinach until tender, drain it, let it cool and squeeze dry. Mash it thoroughly by pounding, adding one spoonful of the mayonnaise, pass the whole through a fine sieve and mix with the dressing. A lighter shade may be obtained by boiling and mashing green peas and using them in the same way. To produce a red tint for a lobster or fish salad, pound the coral of a lobster, pass it through a fine sieve, and add it to the dressing.
