Lettuce

grinder, but should be cut with a knife or chopped with a chopping knife and
bowl. Just before serving, mix them with the salad dressing. Place on salad
plates garnished with lettuce and serve.

Celery is sometimes used with grapefruit to make a salad. This combination is
most often served with French dressing, but any other desirable dressing may be
used as well. Prepare the grapefruit in the same way as oranges are prepared for
salad, and cut each section into three or four pieces. Add to this an equal
amount of diced celery and serve on a lettuce leaf with any desired dressing.

of shredded lettuce. Cover with Cream Salad or Mayonnaise Dressing and sprinkle
chopped peanuts or California walnuts over them. Serve at once.

peanut butter is added,(1/2 cupful salad dressing and 1/4 cupful peanut butter).

and bananas served with the peanut butter dressing makes a pleasing salad.

nectarines, pineapples, bananas, etc. Peel and slice them up, and put them into

place for an hour covered over, and it is ready to serve.
