Have you ever made a salad of apples and celery? Use sour apples cut
into dice-shaped pieces, and cut the celery into half-inch bits.
Arrange in the salad dish in this way: A layer of the apple, then a
sprinkling of capers; next a layer of the celery, and over this three
or four olives cut in thin slices, and so on till the dish is full.
Make a dressing of a saltspoonful of salt, a good dash of cayenne
pepper, the juice of a lemon, and six tablespoonfuls of olive oil.
Pour this over the apples and celery about ten minutes before serving.
Be sure that you let the youngsters have all of this salad that they
want, for it will be hard to concoct a more wholesome and healthful
one.
