Pineapple Salad

Good for an emergency because so quickly prepared. For each individual, one slice Hawaiian pineapple, center filled with nut meats, covered with salad dressing. If desired a tiny mountain of whipped cream, topped by a maraschino cherry, placed on each slice, will add to its appearance and richness. Mrs. Gaylord.

Perfection Salad

One envelope Knox Gelatine, one-half cup cold water, one-half cup mild vinegar, one pint boiling water, one teaspoon salt, one cup finely shredded cabbage, juice of one lemon, one-half cup sugar, two cups celery cut in small pieces, one-fourth can sweet red peppers finely cut. Soak the gelatine in cold water five minutes; add vinegar, lemon juice, boiling water, sugar and salt. Strain, and when beginning to set add the remaining ingredients. Turn into a mold and chill. Serve on lettuce leaves with mayonnaise dressing. This will serve from eight to ten people. To serve fifty people abundantly, use four times the recipe. Mrs. C. M. Candy.

Heidelberg Salad

Wash a fresh lettuce, pull it into small pieces and dry it well. Put it into a salad bowl with some boiled beets, peeled cucumber and celery all cut into strips like matches. Now add some strips of any cold game or fowl that you may have, two anchovies filleted and cut like the vegetables, and a few olives. Sprinkle a little chopped parsley on the top, add some mayonnaise sauce. Put a few strips of gherkins on the top with a hard boiled yolk of egg rubbed through a sieve.

Knickerbocker Salad

Head lettuce, oranges cut in lobes, California grapes in halves with Thousand Island Dressing.

Mrs. Geo. A. Ross.

Waldorf Salad

One cup sour apples, one cup celery, one tablespoon lemon juice, one-half cup walnut meats broken in pieces. Dice apples and celery, dust with salt and pepper. Mayonnaise may be used in place of lemon juice, enough to moisten.

Cucumber Jelly

Soak two large cucumbers in two cups of water over night, slice the cucumbers. In the morning strain, add three small tablespoons of vinegar, two tablespoons of sugar. Let these come to the boiling point, and pour over one tablespoon of gelatine that has been soaked in a little water (using minute gelatine), add a quarter of a cup of pecan nuts, cut up and stir frequently until it begins to solidify. Place in lettuce squares of jelly and cover with a mayonnaise dressing.

Mrs. O. S. Spurling.
