Tongue Salad

Cut some cold boiled beef tongue into small thin strips, place them in a salad-bowl and add some chopped boiled potatoes and a small quantity of celery cut into pieces. Strew over the salad some finely-chopped parsley and baste it with a few tablespoonfuls of beef broth. Prepare a plain salad-dressing of oil and vinegar, seasoned with salt and pepper and pour it over the salad, which place in the refrigerator. When ready to serve, garnish the salad with heart-leaves of lettuce.
