    Cold omelet salad

    Serves 4 to 6

    • 6 eggs
    • 3 Tbs. butter
    • salt and pepper to taste
    • 4 Tbs. minced fresh parsley
    • 3 Tbs. minced fresh chives
    • 3 Tbs. minced fresh dill weed
    • ½ Tbs. minced fresh cilantro (coriander leaves)
    • 2 Tbs. homemade mayonnaise
    • 1 recipe Sour Cream Dressing II
    • red leaf or salad bowl lettuce
    • 3 fresh, ripe tomatoes
    • 1¼ cups sliced pickled beets

    garnish

    • parsley sprigs
    • radish rosettes

    1. Make 3 thin, plain 9-inch omelets, using 2 eggs and 1 tablespoon butter for each, according to the directions. Turn them out of the pan without folding, stack them on a plate, and set them aside.
    2. Combine the minced parsley, chives, dill, and cilantro with the mayonnaise and a little salt and pepper. Spread ⅓ of this mixture evenly over 1 of the omelets and roll it up tightly. Place it seam side down on a plate so that it will not unroll. Spread and roll the other 2 omelets the same way. Put the omelets in the refrigerator to chill for an hour or two.
    3. The salad can be arranged on individual plates or on a serving platter. First, arrange the lettuce leaves on the platter, then slice the tomatoes and put a layer of tomato slices over the lettuce in a pretty pattern. Put a slice of pickled beet on top of each tomato slice.
    4. Cut the chilled omelet rolls in slices about ¾ inch thick. Arrange the omelet slices over the tomato and beet slices. Garnish the platter with parsley twigs and radish rosettes and pass the chilled dressing separately as you serve.
