Recipes For Making Cress Salads

Apple And Cress Salad Recipe (Normandy)

Pare and cut four apples into short, match-shaped pieces. Dress with oil, vinegar or lemon juice, salt and paprika. Dress the leaves from a bunch of cress in the same manner. Dispose the apple in a serving dish, with the cress in a wreath around it. This salad will be found particularly appetizing to serve with game, domestic ducks, geese, and roast pork.

Cress And Egg Salad Recipe

Dress a bunch of cress with oil, vinegar, salt and pepper. Cut the whites of two hard-boiled eggs into eighths, lengthwise, and arrange them on the cress to simulate the petals of a flower. Press a star of mayonnaise dressing in the centre of the petals. Pass an egg yolk through a sieve and arrange around the dressing. Send to the table in this form, but toss together when serving.

Cress, Celery And Walnut Salad Recipe

Arrange a wreath of watercress upon a serving dish. Inside this place some fine cut celery, and in the centre pile some meats of English walnuts, sliced thin. Garnish with sprays of curled celery. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, mix thoroughly and dress with oil; then mix again, adding half as much vinegar as oil; mix once more and serve.
