Cabbage, sliced as for slaw, may be used in the place of celery.

Garnish with small pickles cut in thin slices and spread to resemble a fan.
=Oyster-and-Sweetbread Salad.= Cut a pair of cold cooked sweetbreads into cubes.

Parboil one pint of oysters, drain, cool, and cut in halves; marinate the sweetbreads and oysters with French dressing, and allow them to stand at least half an hour; drain, mix with mayonnaise, and serve on a bed of lettuce or cress.

Or, surround with a circle of chopped cucumbers seasoned with French dressing.
=Shrimp Salad in Cucumber Boats.= Pare the cucumbers, which should be rather short, and cut them in halves lengthwise; remove the seeds and steam until tender; chill, and arrange on lettuce leaves, or on a bed of watercress.

Clean and marinate the shrimps.
