CAULIFLOWER-AND-TOMATO SALAD. A salad in which cauliflower and tomatos are combined is attractive in appearance if it is nicely made. It also has the advantage of being simple to prepare. When cauliflower is cooked for salad, care must be taken not to cook it so long as to discolor it or cause it to fall to pieces.

• 3 tomatos
• Lettuce
• 6 cauliflower flowerets
• Dressing

Select firm, ripe, medium-sized tomatos. Place them in boiling water to scald them, and then dip them quickly into cold water and remove the skins. Cut out the stem ends and slice each tomato half way between the stem and blossom ends. Place each half tomato on a salad plate garnished with a lettuce leaf, stick a stem of the cauliflower into the center, and serve with boiled salad dressing or mayonnaise.
