...and begs the question: where are the kraft miniature marshmallows and/or the miracle whip?
molded salads always scared the bejeesus out of me though!
Is this one of those pictures I have to stare at for a while?

They should have put the word "Surprise" in the name. That would at least have belied the nature of the, um, recipe.
(thumbified as always against my better judgment.)
Hope
But from the recipe, it sounds delicious. And the noodles are a hit.

his comments, oh, his comments!!!
Rrrrrrrrated!
Personally I would have tried to add a little color with a nice goblet of lime jello. And maybe put the food on something a little more cheery than burlap, or whatever that is.
Iiiiiiii don't think that's Waldorf salad.
Iiiiiiii'm thinking head cheese on a bed of poison oak. Of course the two triple shot glasses of butter are still a must have with biscuits.
And if I'm not mistaken, I had a shirt made out of the same material as those napkins. (I'm particularly taken with the surplus army tent table cloth.)
i don't see any noodles OR turkey. just those red things. and i'm pretty sure they're not tomatoes. ::gack::
These vintage recipe cards are really some kind of aversion therapy plan if ever I saw one. They could put you off whole foods forever.
