PRUNE SALAD
1/2 pound large prunes
Mayonnaise
Walnut-meats
Lettuce
Soak the prunes in cold water to
cover overnight. Cook
until tender, cool and carefully
remove the stones without
marring the shape of the prunes.
Fill the cavities with
quarters of walnut-meats.
Lay either three or four stuffed
prunes on each bed of shredded lettuce
or white lettuce
leaves. Top with mayonnaise
and serve very cold with
browned crackers and cream cheese.
This salad may be varied
by filling the prunes with balls
of cream or neufchatel cheese
instead of the nuts.
