Feeding the Family
By ZOLA VINCENT
Food Editor
Tuna, Avocado and Citrus
Fruits Make Hearty Salads
High on the list of plentifuls
at reasonable cost are canned
tuna, avocados, grapefruit and
oranges. High in popularity are
salads that contain this combina
tion of good things for the mak
ing of a flavorful, nutritious
main course for company . . .
and for the family. Equally pop
ular at lunch time and at sup
per time.
To accompany this salad, per
haps you'd like cupfuls of one
of the sturdy cream soups found
in great variety in both canned
and frozen food departments.
Fruits in the salad take care of
the dessert or you might like a
simple dessert of cupcakes or
cookies along with plenty of
steaming coffee for the grown
ups, milk for the children. A
meal to be remembered and re
peated. Tuna-Avocado Salad
Six servings. Cut three medium-size
avocados in half and
remove seed. Scoop out avocados
with melon ball cutter if you
happen to have one or with a
teaspoon measure. Sprinkle avo
cado shells with lemon juice and
set to one side. Combine avo
cado balls with sections cut from
two grapefruit ... or combine
avocado balls with one 14-ounce
can pineapple chunks and two
oranges that have been peeled
sectioned and cut up. Many like
a touch of chopped fresh or
crumbled dried mint leaves.
Marinade in French dressing
for 30 minutes. Break contents
of one 7-ounce can solid-pack
tuna (drained) with a fork. Add
to avocado mixture and toss
lightly. Fill avocado shells and
serve on crisp salad greens. Pass
French dressing in case some one
wants "more."
Tuna-Avocado Ring Mold
This is so easily done; so satis
fying. Can be made ahead of
time which makes it very popu
lar for luncheon parties as well
as for home folks.
Dissolve one three-ounce pack
age lemon flavored gelatin in
two cups hot water. Add three
tablespoons lemon juice and Vz
teaspoon salt. Chill until mix
ture begins to thicken. Combine
lemon juice and z teaspoon salt.
Chill until mixture begins to
thicken. Combine one cup mash
ed avocado, Vz cup sour cream,
Vz cup mayonnaise, one teaspoon
grated onion and Vz cup finely
chopped celery; mix well. Fold
avocado , mixture into slightly
thickened gelatin mixture. Turn
into oiled five-cup ring mold and
chill until firm. Unmold and sur
round with crisp salad greens.
Quite handsome!
