Chicken or Fowl Salad
Origin: London, England
Source: Isabella Beeton, 1861
Ingredients
- The remains of cold roast or boiled chicken
- 2 lettuces
- a little endive
- 1 cucumber
- a few slices of boiled beetroot
- salad-dressing No. 506
Instructions
- Trim neatly the remains of the chicken;
- wash, dry, and slice the lettuces, and place in the middle of a dish;
- put the pieces of fowl on the top, and pour the salad-dressing over them.
- Garnish the edge of the salad with hard-boiled eggs cut in rings, sliced cucumber, and boiled beetroot cut in slices.
- Instead of cutting the eggs in rings, the yolks may be rubbed through a hair sieve, and the whites chopped very finely, and arranged on the salad in small bunches, yellow and white alternately.
- This should not be made long before it is wanted for table.
