Way back when, salads that were as pretty as a picture were quite the thing. Here is a salad that was very popular at the time. I have also included other popular picture salads of the period.

Time 5m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

4 canned peach halves, drained
2 cups cottage cheese with chives

Steps:

  • Put a lettuce cup on each salad plate. This is a leaf of lettuce that is curled to form a cup-like shape.
