Russian Salad

Cut into thin slices the best part of some cold remains of salmon, partridges and chicken, arrange them on a salad dish, and mix with them in moderate quantities some cooked asparagus heads, carrots, turnips and cauliflower, all cut into small pieces, a few capers, shrimps, and a small quantity of caviar. Prepare a sufficient quantity of dressing with oil, mustard, vinegar and a small quantity of cayenne pepper; one tablespoonful of minced shallots should also be added. Pour the mixture over the above ingredients, and stand the salad on ice until ready to serve. Care should be taken in making this salad that all the ingredients taste, but that none of them predominate.
