Lettuce Salad

Use only the tender leaves, and let them stand in cold water until wanted. Wipe them quite dry, then break with the fingers into the following sauce: Two or three yolks of hard-boiled eggs beaten up with one tablespoonful of pure olive oil, salt and pepper to taste, two more tablespoonfuls of oil added gradually, and one of white wine vinegar, and one teaspoonful of mustard. Mix well and garnish the salad-bowl with nasturtium (Tropæolum) flowers.
