Sorrel Salad

Procure a quantity of sorrel, wash it well in several waters and place it one a sieve to drain; if the leaves are large break them in halves, but if small they can be left whole. Place the sorrel in a bowl with a variety of other salad plants (such as may be in season), the sorrel being too sour to eat alone, cover it with a salad dressing in which the vinegar is left out, and serve. Common field sorrel is excellent in vegetable salads mixed with leaves of dandelion and served with a bacon dressing.
