An authentic WW2 salad recipe where the eggs (which were
rationed) are made with carrot, a little cheese and
mashed potatoes! This salad looks very attractive and
feeds four people with ease. Potatoes, that were
home-grown, are put to good use in this salad recipe,
which is very healthy due to many raw vegetables. The
name "Whit Salad" is thought to be derived from Whitsun,
which is an important holiday in the church calendar and
was celebrated as a public holiday with picnics, fêtes,
galas, walks, dances and church suppers.

To make the potato eggs, mix the grated carrots and
cheese together to form balls, like egg yolks; add a
little of the mashed potato to bind them if necessary.
Wrap the balls with a layer of mashed potato, and then
cut in half, so they resemble hard boiled eggs.

Arrange the salad ingredients on a large serving platter
~ lettuce first and then the carrots, cabbage (or
celeriac), diced potatoes with snipped chives; arrange
the tomatoes and mock egg halves around the outside of
the salad.

Make the dressing by whisking all the ingredients
together and drizzle over the salad.

NB: Any root vegetables can be used in place of the
cabbage and carrots, and commercially made salad cream
can be used too. When watercress is in season, decorate
the salad with watercress.
