Cheese Salad

Put the yolk of a hard-boiled egg into a basin, and rub it smooth with a tablespoonful of salad oil; then add one teaspoonful of salt, one of cayenne and one of sugar, and made mustard, mixing each one separately, before another is added, and stirring in one-half pound of grated cheese. The cheese used for this purpose should be as old as possible without being high. After all are well worked together add one tablespoonful of onion vinegar, put the mixture into scallop shells, and serve with shredded lettuce, or other green salad.
