Summer Salad circa 1880

There is a Spanish proverb which insists that four persons are indispensable to the production of a good salad — a spend-thrift for oil, a miser for vinegar, a counselor for salt, and a madman to stir it all up. (I found this quote in a book from 1853)

We included three books from over a century ago for making salads and dressing.
