Salade a la Romaine

An unusual salad and dressing, but refreshing and good. The principle dressing ingredient is onion juice, which I previously had only used for this Belarussian carrot salad (which I liked!). The salad is simple - romaine lettuce and hard-boiled egg.

I was surprised by the absence of vinegar in this salad's dressing, though the role of acid is taken by fresh lemon juice. I was also reminded how much I enjoy hard-boiled egg on my salad.

The simplicity of this salad would make it a nice accompaniment to any summer time dinner.

This is an old recipe -- 1877!
