  • About

Country people lead active lives and much of their food is hearty. Salads are no exception to the rule. Occasionally they take the main role in suppers and luncheons. Jellied Egg Salad, teamed with toasted sandwiches and a cold or hot drink, makes a satisfying summer supper. Regal Chicken Salad and hot rolls please women at bridge luncheons, and Hot Chicken Salad, accompanied by a green vegetable, such as asparagus, broccoli or beans, guarantee the hostess an enthusiastic reception for Sunday evening company supper. When peas reach their flavor peak in the home garden, invite friends to come to supper and serve delicately flavored pink and green Pea/Shrimp Salad.
