I 14 MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Oregon, Thursdiy, April 24, 1958 Feeding the Family By ZOLA Food Every Day U Saladay Ai W Try New Ideas No wonder westerners are changing the salad eating hab its of the nation. We toss a new salad at the drop of a lettuce leaf; try new combina tions, exchange recipes and salad ideas like crazy. Today s salad vegetables account for 40 per cent of all fresh vege tables grown commercially. And where are most of them grown? Right here within trucking distance. Not only that but National Garden Week celebrants tell us that 30 million persons will be garden-growing salad-makings from seed by mid-summer. Tomatoes are far the most popular vegetable with home-growers. Number one commercially - grown vege table is lettuce. Whether you pick your vegetables from your own patch or pick them from dis plays in your favorite market, you'll find many good salad making ideas in these columns right along. Salad Vegetables Fastest selling salad bowl vegetables are lettuce, toma toes, celery, cucumbers, Bell peppers, escarole and endive. Other availables right now for C. eating raw include cabbage, I I carrots, cauliflower, chicory, "Z. Chinese cabbage, green onions, chives, dry onions, mustard i greens, parsley, radishes, spin- ach, watercress. Cooked vege tables favored in salads in I elude asparagus, green beans, s lima beans, beets, broccoli, peas, potatoes. Main Dish Salads Hearty and nutritious, main dish salads combine greens .and other vegetables with cubed,'Slivered or sliced cook- rd meats or poultry, fish and shellfish, hard - cooked eggs, cheese. Salad Dressings No matter how crisp the greens, how fresh the vege tables, how tender the meat, a salad without a satisfying dressing is doomed to failure. Salad magic is easily and simply found in three basic dressings which are the step ping stones to practically all others. These are French dressing, mayonnaise and cooked salad dressing. With a jar of one or all of these in your refrigera tor, you can whip up, at a mo ment's notice, myriad dress ings. You may make any of these from scratch, use one of the increasingly popular salad dressing mixes or choose from a whole grocery shelf of com mercial salad dressings. Salad Vinegars Very Important Salad dressing success de pends a great deal upon the quality and flavor of the vine gar used. Fine vinegar costs so few centa that it Iseems senseless to settle for less than the very best. Here is a quick glossary of vinegars to help in your selection. Cider Vinegar. Made from the first pressing of sound, red-ripe apples. It has a fine mellow fruit flavor that is a natural with fruit and vege table salads. - Distilled While. A crystal clear vinegar usually made from choice corn, ye and bar ley malt. It has delicate aroma which brings out the full flav ors of foods without dominat ing them. Salad Vinegar. A compara tive newcomer, salad vinegar is a blend of distilled white, red amber and malt vinegars with just enough "malt" tq give pleasing bouquet, fine flavor. Malt Vinegar. Here is the ultimate in fine vinegars. Rich, full-bodied in flavor, it is excellent for hearty salads of meat, seafood, macaroni and the like. Use discriminat ingly so it does not overpower flavor of the salad. Tarragon Vinegar. The epi cure's delight. A skillful blend of fine distilled and fermented table vinegars with tarragon leaves steeped until just right to give herb fragrance to sal ad greens, meat, eggs, fish. Used in sour cream dressing, this is wonderful for fruit salads too.
