A SALAD A DAY A golden rule with many American housewives is a salad a day and never the same one two days running. Too many New Zealand women put a lettuce in a bowl, adorn it with a few rounds of tomato, a slice or two of beetroot and a hard-bo : led egg and that is the only salad they can think of serving. Here are some excellent recipes from across the Pacific:— Fruit and Lettuce Salad Divide a good lettuce into quarters, treat each with French dressing, and put all on individual plates. Arrange alternate sections of skinned and seeded grapefruit, orange quarters, and slices of pears on each, and garnish with pickled walnuts. Prune and Nut Salad Blanch and shred an ounce of almonds and mix with an ounce of crushed shelled walnuts and ten soaked prunes that have been stoned and cut into quarters. Blend with •‘.ream dressing and lay on a bed of crisp lettuce leaves. Brazilian Salad Alix together lightly in a basin some skinned and seeded white grapes that have been cut in halves lengthwise with an equal quantity of shredded fresh pineapple, diced apple, and a few chopped Brazil nuts. Sprinkle with lemon juice and blend with mayonnaise and arrange in a let-tuce-leaf-lined salad bowl. For mayonnaise, put into a basin and mix with a wooden spoon one egg yolk, | teaspoonful each of French and English mustard, a dust each of salt, pepper and sugar and about J pint olive oil, drop by drop. Lastly, add two tablespoonsful of tarragon vinegar.
