FROZEN SALADS POPULAR
By Hannah Wing

The increasing popularity OF
frozen salads has been rapid.
The electric refrigerator has
helped as has the custom OF us
ing salad as q dessert. They are
frequently used as the main course
for luncheon parties and recep-
tons, or dainty home suppers, ac-
companied by hot or cold tea.
coffee or chocolate. They are also
popular when served in place of
dessert, with crisp crackers and
delicate cream cheese and. of
course, small culsful of coffee.
Frozen salads are often very
simply put together with materials
collected from the refrigerator.
Others are rather more elegant
and formal and need more care
and planning. Sometimes the
dressing alone is frozen, or IL may
be added to the other ingredients
and then frozen.

pineapple, fresh or canned; half
