Oh, Look what I just found: http://recipecurio.com/perfection-salad/ The recipe won a sewing machine for the woman who created it! It's a little earlier than the 1970's - LOL! But we were still eating it then.

For those of you Kindle readers and old timely recipe appreciators. There is a free download of a cookbook of sorts "Things My Mother Used to Make". Not real helpful for today's world but interesting nonetheless. Took a lot more effort putting food on the table but yet it certainly was simplier times. Just the other day I was at the local Wal-Mart Super Store and believe there is an entire freezer aisle of frozen pizzas. Who really needs all that?!

My mother made a tomato aspic salad--with celery and tiny shrimp. Also Waldorf salad, which I still like. We ate jello too. At Christmas it was a red jello with chopped cranberries and other ingredients.

This has been an interesting thread, brought back some memories. I couldn't stand the jello with carrots that my mom made, like most of you said fruit & veggies don't seem to go together. I was so happy when she stopped with the carrots and started using fruit pieces. We always had jello in the house back then, used in some way for each dessert. I rarely buy it now and when I do my girls think it's a special treat.
Mom also ate a lettuce leaf with cottage cheese and a peach or pear half on top for lunch most of the time. She would always try to get me to try it, but I couldn't stand cottage cheese and still don't like it.
She also made Waldorf salad a lot, with the apples, celery & dressing in it. I would love to make one now that I'm thinking about it, I remember loving it so much. I'd forgotten about these salads from the 70's when I was a little girl, I think I'll look up some of the old recipes online as mom has been gone 25 years now.
