One bunch of celery cut fine, 3 large apples cut in small pieces with the celery.
2 eggs, ½ cupful sugar, 1 teaspoonful mustard, ½ teaspoonful salt, a little butter and pepper and 1 cupful vinegar. Boil a few minutes, pour over hot.
Sliced bananas and oranges cut in dice, white grapes carefully skinned and seeded and the kernels of English walnuts cut in pieces. Mix together with a very little mayonnaise dressing and serve on tender lettuce leaves.
Take a crisp, fresh head of lettuce, wash the lettuce and let it stand in cold water until needed and then shake out the leaves and arrange them in the salad bowl. Take a ripe grape-fruit, cut it in half and with a spoon take out all the pulp, taking care to preserve the juice. Arrange the pulp in the lettuce leaves, and make a dressing of oil and the juice. To every 3 tablespoonfuls of the oil allow ½ teaspoonful salt, and a quarter teaspoonful of pepper. Put these ingredients in a bowl, dissolving the salt and pepper in the oil. Stir in the fruit juice gradually until an emulsion. Pour it over the lettuce and pulp and serve. One tablespoon-ful of the juice should be sufficient for 3 tablespoonfuls of the juice should be sufficient for 3 tablespoonfuls of the oil, but some may prefer a little more juice. Vigorous stirring is essential, and as soon as a whitish compound is formed the dressing is ready for use.
