Fish Salad

 Although Simons Mansion hosted most of Munsonville’s festivities, the villagers reciprocated one summer with a celebration in honor of John and Bryony Simons, with John providing the entertainment. A torn dress kept Melissa away from the refreshment table, but, except for the cake, we doubt she would have eaten anything from it, anyway. 

The following recipe is from the Bohemian-American Cookbook by Marie Rosicky, published by the Automatic Printing Company (www.autoprintomaha.com). Use with permission.

Fish Salad

Cold, diced fish

Anchovies or capers

Sliced potatoes

Sliced red beets

Desired dressing

Mix the diced meat with anchovies or capers, place a layer of potatoes and beets over a layer of meat, then pour over all the desired dressing.
