Fruit Salad

Take along canned fruit salad, crisp lettuce wrapped in waxed paper and a jar of mayonnaise. If a creamier dressing is desired, blend one third cup mayonnaise with one cup whipped cream. Pack the dressing in a jar with a screw top, and put on fruits just before serving. Fresh fruits make a tastier salad. They may be prepared in the trailer and packed into a jar with a screw top.

Stuffed Celery

Clean crisp celery, sprinkle with water, wrap well in waxed paper. Take a box of prepared Roquefort spread. Stuff celery at picnic.

Hot Cream Of Asparagus Soup

Put hot soup into a vacuum jug which has previously been warmed with hot water. At the picnic, drink the soup out of tea cups.

Vegetable Salad *

Cantaloupe Halves.

Fruit Punch in Vacuum Jug *

Hot Coffee in Vacuum Bottle.

Baked Ham

The ham may be sliced or taken whole to the picnic. If whole, be sure to take along a sharp knife and bread board.

Vegetable Salad

The vegetable salad may be made up of a variety of 9-ounce cans of vegetables. Add a minced onion. Leftover fresh cooked vegetables, blended with raw ones also make a delicious combination. If French dressing is used, take the salad in a covered bowl or dish, and the dressing in a corked bottle. Marinate the salad just before using.

Fruit Punch

The fruit punch may easily be made from many combinations of canned fruit juices. Delicious combinations are: orange, apricot and pineapple; loganberry with gingerale; pineapple and grapefruit. If ice is added to the vacuum jug do not dilute the juices. If fruit juice is thoroughly chilled, use one of the opened cans as a measure and dilute juice with ice water until it has the right consistency.
