Cottage Cheese Salad.

Nutritious salad makes a good dish for a home luncheon. As, they are rich in protein, cheese salads take the place of cold meat dishes. The following is an inexpensive, nutritious cottage cheese salad: Mix thoroughly one pound of cheese, one and one-half tablespoonfuls .of cream, one tablespoonful of chopped parsley, and salt to taste. First, fill a rectangular tin mold with cold water to chill and wet the surface. After removing the water, line the bottom of the mold with waxed paper; then pack the cheese in three layers, putting two or three parallel strips of pimento, lettuce leaf, or chopped nuts, between layers. Cover with waxed paper and set in a cool place until ready to serve; then run a knife around the sides and invert the mold. Cut in slices and serve on lettuce leaves with French dressing and wafers. Minced olives may be used instead of the parsley, and chopped nuts also may be added. "Finicky” tastes in food often prevent the use of many valuable materials which might be the means of saving money. Don’t stick too closely to habits and customs in the food you eat. Try new dishes occasionally.
