Russian Vegetable Salad

Ingredients

• 1 cup Carrots
• 1 cup Turnips
• 1 cup String beans
• 1 cup Cauliflower
• 1/4 cup French dressing
• 2 cups Aspic
• 1/2 cup Mayonnaise
• 1 head Lettuce

Instructions

1. 1Select two moulds of suitable shape and size (tin basins or earthen bowls will do) and chill them in ice water. This will help the aspic set properly.
2. 2Have ready cooked balls, cut from carrots and turnips, and cooked string beans and cauliflower. Marinate all the vegetables with French dressing.
3. 3Drain the vegetables. Dip them into half-set aspic, and arrange them against the chilled sides of the moulds. Then, fill the moulds with aspic jelly. When set, scoop out the aspic from the center of each mould with a hot spoon and fill the space with a mixture of the vegetables and jelly mayonnaise, leaving an open space at the top to be filled with half-set aspic.
4. 4When thoroughly chilled and set, turn the salad from the moulds, the smaller mould above the other. Garnish with flowerets of cauliflower, dipped in aspic and chilled, and lettuce. Serve with mayonnaise.
