Cut fine white celery into inch lengths, throw it into iced water for half an hour, take it out, dry and serve it with a French dressing or mayonnaise, or with a boiled salad dressing.
Prepare the celery as directed above, heap it in a bowl and surround it with a border of small radishes, half peeled, to look like roses. Put one on top of the mound of celery and dress all with mayonnaise.
Prepare and mound the celery as in the preceding recipe and encircle it with tomato aspic. This may have been formed in a border-mould the size of the dish, or such a mould may be improvised by setting one vessel inside of the other and placing the jelly to form in the outer one. Both should be wet before the jelly goes in, and if the inner vessel is filled with ice or iced water the process of forming will be hastened.
With one cupful and a half of crisp celery, cut into inch lengths, mix one cupful of tart apple, cut into dice. Cover with a mayonnaise. Do not cut the apple until just before serving, as it darkens after peeling.
