Method

  1. Three table-spoonfuls of oil, one of vinegar, one saltspoonful of salt, one-half a salt-spoonful of pepper.
  2. Put the salt and pepper in a cup, and add one table-spoonful of the oil.
  3. When thoroughly mixed, add the remainder of the oil and the vinegar.
  4. This is dressing enough fora salad for six persons.
  5. If you like the flavor of onion, grate a little juice into the dressing.
  6. The juice is obtained by first peeling the onion, and then grating with a coarse grater, using a good deal of pressure.
  7. Two strokes will give about two drops of juice—enough for this rule.
