• 5 red radishes, cleaned and cut in half

Dressing

• 1 cup mayonnaise

Notes

Clipping also carries a small cheese-and-grapes drawing and the top of an unrelated ad headed ‘Shades in the woods’.

Part of the card is cut off or missing: Top edge of the clipping cuts through a previous recipe’s credit line (only ‘Griggsville, Ill.’ legible, a name above it is cut away); the ‘Shades in the woods’ ad at the bottom is cut off. Summer Salad itself is complete.
