Italian Salad
Select two small heads of crisp tender lettuce, wash carefully; pare and slice one medium sized cucumber; cut fine one third cupful of parsley; wash one bunch of water cress; clean six crisp round radishes but do not pare, slice thin; slice very thin as much onion as suits your taste, mix all together and dress with oil, lemon juice, salt and cayenne pepper, mixed thoroughly until the lemon cuts the oil; this result is obtained more quickly if your oil is thoroughly chilled and is added slowly to the lemon juice and salt; add pepper last. This is a delicate and delicious summer salad.
