Fill the centers of the dates with half of an English walnut meat. Prepare Cream Mayonnaise or Golden Salad Dressing. Arrange the dates on garnished individual salad plates and pour over these the dressing.
6 medium sized tomatoes 2 rather small cucumbers.
6 radishes.
1/2 sweet green pepper.
French Salad Dressing.
Arrange the salad on individual salad plates. Slice the tomato on a lettuce leaf, then add one-third of a cucumber, sliced. Slice the radishes, but do not peel. Arrange the sliced radishes over the tomato and cucumber. Chop the half of a sweet green pepper, taking care that it is a sweet pepper, and sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of the chopped pepper on top of the other vegetables. Over this pour a tablespoon of the French Salad Dressing. It is particularly important that the vegetables shall be in good condition and that the cucumber and radishes shall be crisp and tender. If somewhat wilted, immerse them in cold water for a half hour or more.
