Serve with French dressing made of claret and lemon juice instead of vinegar, or with a cream dressing.

In using the cream dressing, mix the ingredients with a little of the dressing and dispose additional dressing here and there, using the forcing-bag and tube.

When available, fresh figs are preferable to those that have been cooked.
=Grapefruit Salad.= Cut the chilled fruit in halves, crosswise, and take out the pulp with a spoon; dress with French dressing.

The juice of the grapefruit may be used in the place of other acid, and mayonnaise in the place of French dressing.

Serve on lettuce leaves, or return to the skin from which the pulp was removed.
