Well, we survived the Super Bowl and now I consider the holiday snacking season to be officially over. It starts around Thanksgiving, so a good part of the year is involved.

Here's some more recipes from the Atalantean Cookbook put together by the ladies of tiny Memphis, Texas. I'm not saying these are healthy, I just think they are interesting.

Marshmallow Cream Salad

16 oz package marshmallows
4 tablespoons pineapple juice
1 cup whipped cream
1 cup crushed pineapple (drained, use juice above)
1 cup chopped nuts

Melt the marshmallows in the pineapple juice. Cool and add the nuts, pineapple, and whipped cream. Chill in a baked pie shell or on graham cracker crumbs. Serve in 2 inch squares.

Yes, I was typing along and realized it's really a dessert, not a salad. I don't know if they mean take a cup of whipping cream and whip it, or whip the amount of cream required to make 1 cup of whipping cream.

Olive Salad

1 cup chopped stuffed green olives
1 cup chopped nuts
6 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
1 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup catsup
1 tablespoon vinegar
1 cup Thousand Island dressing
Paprika
1 head lettuce, chopped

Mix together and serve on lettuce leaves. Will serve 15.

I'm typing along and thinking, this is like a home-made Thousand Island dressing, but then it's got it in there as well, so it's an enhanced Thousand Island dressing. It might be really good. I've got all the ingredients except that prepared dressing, so I'm going to make a little bit to see how it all goes together.

Perfection Salad

2 envelopes unflavored gelatin
1/2 cup cold water
2 cups boiling water
1/2 cup white vinegar
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
Juice of 1 lemon
1 cup shredded cabbage
1 cup finely cut celery (with leaves)
(1/3 - 1/2 cup finely diced green pepper)
1 small jar pimientos, chopped

Soak the gelatin in the cold water for 5 minutes. Add the boiling water, vinegar, lemon juice, sugar, and salt. Stir until the gelatin is dissolved. Chill until thickened but not set. Stir in the remaining ingredients, turn into a mold and chill.

Perfection salad was a popular recipe during the 1960s, one my grandmother made quite a bit. She chilled it in a large rectangular pan and cut it in squares to serve on a little piece of lettuce with a dollop of mayonnaise or Miracle Whip on each serving. I never make it because for one thing Mr. Kitchentales doesn't like vegetables in Jello.
