Nut Salad. 



From Philadelphia Press. 



The recipe for nut salad is as follows: Crack, pick kernels and chop 

 enough mixed nuts to have a cupful of kernels; chop fine one stalk of celery 

 (using only the white part, saving ends with leaves for garnishing); sprinkle 

 some celery salt, pinch of table salt and mix all with three or four table- 

 spoonfuls of prepared meat dressing (any brand you prefer), or mayonnaise or 

 a slaw dressing. This can be served on salad or lettuce leaves, a t small quan- 

 tity being put on each leaf, or it can be garnished with the ends of the celery 

 stuck upright in the salad bowl. The quantities given make sufficient for six 

 persons.
