Suffolk Salad

Ingredients

• tender lettuces
• lean ham
• hard-boiled eggs
• English salad sauce
• cold chicken or veal

Instructions

1. Fill a salad-bowl from half to three parts full with very tender lettuces shred small.
2. Add minced lean ham and hard-boiled eggs (or their yolks only, also minced), placing them in alternate layers.
3. If using cold chicken or veal, cut it in thin slices about the size of a shilling and add to the bowl.
4. Optionally, slice the ham and eggs instead of mincing them, and neatly arrange the whole in a chain or otherwise round the inside of the bowl.
5. Dress the mixture with English salad sauce, but do not pour it into the bowl until the instant of serving.
