An unusual turn-of-the-century fruit and salad combination presented by Caroline C. Shea in Good Housekeeping. Soft Neufchâtel cheese is seasoned with mustard, salt, pepper, and lemon juice, then blended with cream and strawberry juice to make a dressing surrounding whole strawberries arranged on crisp lettuce. It's a little odd to figure out how the strawberry, even if it is large, fills a whole lettuce leaf... perhaps it would be better sliced.

Salads
By CAROLINE C. SHEA
IN treating of salads the more common kinds will be avoided, as every cook book contains full directions ; as will also recipes for mayonnaise dressing, as every cook has her own, or buys some one of the many manufactured varieties.
In making a salad, everything used should be perfectly fresh and cold. A salad is something which should appear at least once a day on every table.
