Bird's Nest Salad Recipe
Fashion small nests from cooked spinach, chopped and seasoned with salt, pepper, oil, and lemon juice. When cold arrange in the nests eggs of Neufchâtel cheese, flecked with paprika. Shape the eggs with the smooth sides of butter paddles. Fill in between the nests with dressed lettuce or blanched celery tips. Serve with brown bread and butter sandwiches. In serving the nests, use a broad-bladed silver knife.
