Crisp Refreshing Vintage Salads Ideas: Inspired by The 1958 Quick ‘N’ Easy Cookbook by Good Housekeeping: Vintage Ephemera

I loved flipping thru this cookbook and reading about all the different kinds of salads. They even included a few relish tray ideas. Included are tuna, ham, and chicken salads, wilted spinach and bacon, Spring lettuce wedges, aspics, your tried and true romaine salads, and macaroni salads for example. The list goes on and on and I am sure anyone can find a salad they would enjoy in the contents of this cute little cookbook.

Ok, most people are not thinking about cook, refreshing salads. Most have their minds on warm and comforting soup when fall hits the calendar. Well, it is still 75 degrees here in Texas and I have been enjoying the quickness and ease of a refreshing salad. Mine are quiet savory at times, opting for Taco Salads and those loaded with meats and cheeses. These are not your healthy salads and create a very satisfying meal on their own. Most salads, however, are healthy, loaded with fresh veggies, seeds, and fruits.

Here are a few vintage salad ads I found amusing.

Darling, I love your … “hat”? Photo found on Pinterest, the original link is pzrservices.typepad.com but that site no longer exists.
Vintage Jello salad advertisement, vintage  Jello salad ephemera, vintage Jello ad, vintage Jello graphics, vintage food, Jello
These Jello or Aspic salads are an entire blog post of their own and I WILL be diving into this subject in the near future…. but enjoy these lovely pics, in the meantime. These are just “weird” to me. I can not say I would not like them as I have never tried one…other than the lime Jello and cottage cheese, which I rather like. Who knows? Maybe I will like my Spaghetti-Os trapped within a wiggly Jello mold. Photo from Design Bump.

Look at Kraft trying to tempt me with this glorious cottage cheese Temptation Salad. Photo found on Pinterest.

I love Tuna Salad sandwiches, Tuna Salad on tomatoes, Tuna Salad just out of a bowl. My MawMa used to make the best Tuna Salad. She would put chunks of cheddar cheese in it. So Yummy. Photo from Pinterest. Original link no longer working.

I have no words. Well, maybe it is a ham salad in a head of iceberg? Photo from Finding Betty Croker.

I have never been one to usemayonaise as a salad dressing. I am more of a ceasar or ranch type of gal. I do love an oily Greek dressing with feta, tomatoes, and cucumbers, as well. But plopping a dallop of mayo on my salad was never a craving. I’m sure glad Peg was able to use it to impress her judging mother in law! She got in SOLID thanks to Hellmann’s. Photo from Daily Mail.
