BIRD'S-NEST SALAD
The Century Cook Book, 1895
Rub a little green coloring paste into cream cheese, giving it a delicate color like bird's eggs.
Roll it into balls the size of birds' eggs, using the back or smooth side of butter-pats.
Arrange on a flat dish some small well-crimped lettuce leaves; group them to look like nests, moisten them with French dressing, and place five of the cheese balls in each nest of leaves.
The cheese balls may be varied by flecking them with black, white, or red pepper.
