Lobster salad.

Ingredients:- 1 hen lobster, lettuces, endive,
small salad (whatever is in season), a little
chopped beetroot, 2 hard-boiled eggs, a few
slices of cucumber. For dressing, equal quantities
of oil and vinegar, 1 teaspoonful of made
mustard, the yolks of 2 eggs; cayenne and
salt to taste; 3 teaspoonful of anchovy sauce.
These ingredients should be mixed perfectly
smooth, and form a creamy-looking sauce.


Mode:- Wash the salad, and thoroughly dry it by
shaking it in a cloth. Cut up the lettuces and

endive, pour the dressing on them, and lightly
throw in the small salad. Mix all well together

with the pickings from the body of the lobster;
pick the meat from the shell, cut it up into nice
square pieces, put half in the salad, the other half
reserve for garnishing. Separate the yolks from the
whites of 2 hard-boiled eggs; chop the whites very
fine, and rub the yolks through a sieve, and
afterwards the coral from the inside. Arrange the
salad lightly on a glass dish, and garnish, first
with a row of sliced cucumber, then with the pieces
of lobster, the yolks and whites of the eggs, coral,
and beetroot placed alternately, and arranged in
small separate bunches, so that the colours contrast
nicely.

Note. A few crayfish make a pretty garnishing to lobster
salad.
