One of her favorite salads is made of kumquats or oranges cut in thin slices.
One pound of malaga grapes seeded,
two apples cut in small strips
and tip ends of celery of the tenderest sort.
Over this she pours a dressing of six tablespoons of oil and one tablespoon of lemon juice,
a half teaspoon each of salt and paprika and a dash of nutmeg.
The dressing is beaten almost to a froth.
