Boiled Salad
Origin: London, England
Source: Isabella Beeton, 1861
Ingredients
- 2 head celery
- 1 pint French beans
- lettuce, and endive
- FRENCH BEANS.]
- CHERVIL.]
Instructions
- Boil the celery and beans separately until tender, and cut the celery into pieces about 2 inches long.
- Put these into a salad-bowl or dish;
- pour over either of the sauces No. 506, 507, or 508, and garnish the dish with a little lettuce finely chopped, blanched endive, or a few tufts of boiled cauliflower.
- This composition, if less agreeable than vegetables in their raw state, is more wholesome; for salads, however they may be compounded, when eaten uncooked, prove to some people indigestible.
- Tarragon, chervil, burnet, and boiled onion, may be added to the above salad with advantage, as also slices of cold meat, poultry, or fish.
