NOVEL SALADS
Of salads innumerable combina- tions
are possible, but the good salad-maker never mixes flavours haphazard. When salads are eaten instead of the usual hot meal, It should be remembered that the vegetables alone are not substitutes in food value: with the salad should be incorporated eggs, cheese, chicken, salmon, sardines, or some- thing similar, or if a green salad is preferred, it should be served as an adjunct to the main dish.
