71.0. "SALAD: Unusual and Old Fashioned Salads" by PINION::HACHE (Nuptial Halfway House) Mon Nov 09 1992 15:36

    These salad recipes are taken from an old cookbook that belonged to
    my mother.  They are salads in the old "Ladies who Lunch" style.  
    These are my favorites.

    What do you do with the beets?  Or was their purpose just to color the
    vinegar??

    The beets are there to color the vinegar (and subsequently the
    mayonnaise).  You could add them to the salad if you'd like.
    Taste them first though.  After sitting in the vinegar for so 
    long they taste quite different.
