The arrangement and garnishing of salads depends largely upon
individual taste and skill in the use of things at hand, and is a
matter of importance.
The garnish should be a suitable one and should harmonize with the
ingredients of the salad. For example, a dainty flower or vine with a
delicate fruit salad, and slices or fancy shapes of vegetables with
true meat salads.
Red apple, or tomato cups may be used for light colored salads, and
yellow tomato, or green and white apple cups for bright ones.
Juicy fruit salads should be served in dainty glasses or cups; and a
correspondingly dainty doily on the plate underneath the glass with a
delicate flower or leaf by its side, leaves nothing to be desired.
