Orange Mint Salad

Remove pulp from four large oranges, by cutting fruit in halves crosswise and using a spoon. Sprinkle with two tablespoons powdered sugar, and add two tablespoons finely chopped mint, and one tablespoon each lemon juice and Sherry wine. Chill thoroughly, serve in glasses, and garnish each with a sprig of mint. Should the oranges be very juicy, pour off a portion of the juice before turning the mixture into glasses.


French Fruit Salad

2 oranges
3 bananas
1/2 lb. Malaga grapes
12 English walnut meats
1 head lettuce
French Dressing

Hungarian Salad

Mix equal parts shredded fresh pineapple, bananas cut in pieces, and sections of tangerins, and marinate with French dressing. Fill banana skins with mixture, sprinkle generously with paprika, and arrange on lettuce leaves.


Waldorf Salad

Mix equal quantities of finely cut apple and celery, and moisten with Mayonnaise Dressing. Garnish with curled celery and canned pimentoes cut in strips or fancy shapes.

Refill shells thus made with the salad, replace tops, and serve on lettuce leaves.


Malaga Salad
