  1. Cut 1 carrot and 1 turnip into slices, and cook them in boiling soup.
  2. When cold, mix them with 2 cold boiled potatoes and 1 beet cut into strips.
  3. Add a very little chopped leeks or onions, pour some sauce, "Lombardo," over the salad, and garnish with watercress.
  4. Boiled Jerusalem artichokes cut into slices are a good addition.
