Boiled Dressings

“The “boiled dressings” are not salad dressings, but cold sauces with which cold vegetables may be served. Contrary to a notion widely prevalent in the rural districts, salads cannot be made without oil. Olive oil is as important to a salad as a door is to a barn, and, unless there is oil in it, it isn’t salad, though it may be good, and as indigestible as any salad that ever made one sit up with a hot water bag until four a.m.

The boiled dressings are included in this post as a concession to people who cannot use oil” and who wish to think they are eating salad. All of the boiled dressings are appropriate for potatoes and raw cabbage and a few other vegetables. They combine well with meat, fish, and vegetables in making sandwich fillings, and have their own distinct and proper uses, though they play no part whatsoever in the making of a real salad.”
