French Fruit Salad

I orange

1 dozen English walnuts

I banana

Lettuce

½ pound Malaga grapes

French dressing

Peel the oranges and cut away the sections from the membrane by placing a knife parallel with the membrane and slicing down. If the fruit is allowed to stand in cold water after peeling, the bitter white membrane will come off easily.

Peel the bananas and cut in quarter-inch slices. Remove the skins and seeds from the grapes. Break in small pieces, but do not chop, the walnut-meats. Mix these ingredients thoroughly and place on ice. When ready to serve, place on lettuce leaves and serve with French dressing. This salad is pretty served in an orange basket, or, by substituting the grapefruit pulp for the orange, it may be properly served in the shell of a half grapefruit.
