before serving pour over the salad a dressing made as follows: Hard boiled eggs
or thick sour cream are stirred together with vinegar, pepper, salt, chopped
parsley and tarragon. Onions may also be added or can be served separately with

salad can also be mixed with sliced potatoes with a dressing of oil, vinegar,
