1061 | Lobster Salad.

—Take three pounds of boiled lobster; shell, and cut the meat into small pieces; lay them in a deep dish, seasoning with a pinch of salt, half a pinch of pepper, and a tablespoonful of vinegar, adding a few branches of the white of celery, likewise cut up. Mix well together, then transfer it to a salad-bowl, and pour over half a cupful of good mayonnaise dressing (No. 206), decorate with two hard-boiled eggs cut into quarters, six leaves of lettuce, twelve stoned olives, a tablespoonful of capers, and a little of the lobster coral, hashed well. Decorate nicely, according to taste, and serve.
