Show Fruits Lettuce Great Salad m " i Everyone loves a fruit salad, especially the hostess who can devise de-vise so many different combinations of fruits . . . fresh, canned or frozen ... in attractive, nutritious salads, any season of the year. No top-rated salad worthy of the name is served without lettuce. For "Iceberg Fruit Combo", crisp western iceberg lettuce plays a dual role. Tender iceberg leaves line the salad bowl, and bite-size chunks of lettuce are scattered on top along with canned cling ' peach slices, melon balls, halved dates and sliced banana. The tangy orange marmalade-wine vinegar dressing is easy to make and complements both the lettuce and fruits. Western iceberg lettuce is available year-round due to the ideal growing conditions of California and Arizona, and just as no salad is complete without lettuce, no refrigerator is fully stocked without a head or two of western iceberg lettuce.
