Ingredients
Directions
“Keep as near as ever you can to the first sources of supply — fruits and vegetables.”

SLADE’S and PURE are synonymous words.
The same thing is true of the dressings to be used on salads — the judgment of the housewife must be exercised to suit the taste of her own household; some like a sharp, acid flavoring, some want dressing with oil, others without oil; for most palates nothing will be found more pleasing than Slade’s Salad Cream, which can be purchased at the grocer’s -all ready for use ; the dressing is prepared from the purest, freshest and most wholesome ingredients and is free from all preservatives and unhealthful substances.
French dressing is used for green vegetables, for fruits and nuts, and to marinate cooked vegetables, or fish or meat for salads. To marinate means to mix thoroughly with the ingredients of the salad and allowing the dress- ing to remain until the ingredients are thoroughly sea- soned with it; the salad should then be carefully drained so that the salad cream or mayonnaise may not be diluted with the liquid.
Slade’s Salad Cream or dressing is used for meat, fish, and some varieties of fruit and vegetables; sometimes alone and sometimes after some of the salad ingredients have been seasoned with French dressing.
The green vegetables should be fresh, crisp and cold. Salad should be made just before it is needed, for it loses its freshness quickly.
