TOMATO AND SYBO SALAD

Tomatoes
Syboes (Spring Onions)
Salt
Pepper
Simple French Dressing

~Put the tomatoes into boiling water for half a minute, then into cold, and remove skin. Cut into slices, season with salt and pepper, and lay the slices, overlapping, in a long, narrow dish. Sprinkle generously with finely chopped syboes, and pour a little French dressing over all.

~This is excellent with brown bread and butter and cheese, or, together with a potato salad, as an accompaniment to a cold-meat roll, cold chicken, etc., at a summer lunch.
