A sirl's best friend is a
GREAT BIG SALAD
EjTlDorothy Greig'
TO put a gloss on a woman's hair,
a come-hither gleam in her eye,
to keep her trim and full of the old
Nick, nothing surpasses plenty of
fruits and vegetables in the daily
diet. Eaten raw, cooked or canned,
they supply health giving vitamins
and minerals.
Salads, for instance, are a deli
cious way to get our daily quota of
these beautifying foods. Salads . . .
of crisp, raw carrot strips and cauli
flower flowerets, on a bed of let
tuce; juicy orange and pineapple
slices sprinkled with cocoanut; vel
vety avocados cradling a tart dress
ing , . . the grocer s shelves and
counters prestnt an endless array
of makin's for delectable salads.
The other day I evolved a jellied
salad of canned black, cherries
and pineapple chunks that was not
only delicious to eat but lovely to
look at. It came out a deep grape
wine in color, the luscious shade
you see so much in frocks this sea
son, really most unusual in a salad.
With it I served a cream cheese
dressing:
Jellied Cherry and Pineapple Salad
1 cups' canned black cherries
lYz cups pineapple chunks
IVi cups fruit juice (pineapple
and cherry)
2 teaspoons gelatine, sprinkled
on two tablespoons of water
3 tablespoons lemon juice
Remove pits from black cherries.
Sprinkle the gelatine on water and
let stand about five minutes. Heat
the pineapple juice and pour on
gelatine, stirring until dissolved.
Then add cherry and lemon juice.
Chill until gelatine begins to set.
Add fruits, pour into mold and place
in refrigerator - until firm. Serve
