For those of you who were raised in a genteel household, the title indicates the salad dressing is served on the side. For the rest of you, it's something out of a 1950s PLAYBOY cartoon, and that's how this very short comedy is played.
Given the subject matter and the length, it's clear this was not intended to be projected on a screen, but was intended for a peepshow viewing on one of American Mutoscope & Biograph's Mutoscope machines. In fact, the condition of the copy I looked at is consistent with it being recovered from the series of cards in one of the machines.
In short, it's a mildly salacious joke, quickly rendered.
