Water Lily Salad
Lettuce leaves.
Mayonnaise dressing
Eggs, hard-boiled, 8.
Cut crisp lettuce leaves into pointed strips, like the outer leaves of a water lily. Cut the whites of hard-boiled eggs also into strips, to make the petals. Mash all but two or three of the yolks, mix them with the mayonnaise, and fill in the center of the white petals. Take the remaining yolks and put through a fine sieve, and scatter this over the yellow center and white petals to resemble pollen of the flower.
