And what nasty salads it did promote. In addition to the monstrosities shown below, there is a recipe for one made with baked beans and sauerkraut.
Personally, I have a five ingredient rule, as in salads should be limited to that many. Like this.
Green Salad with Apple, Walnuts, and Bleu Cheese
Lettuce
One red eating apple, cored and diced
¼ c of crumbled bleu cheese (approx)
¼ c of broken walnut meats (approx)
oil & vinegar dressing
Dice the apple and pour the dressing over it immediately to prevent browning. Fill a salad bowl with lettuce, toss it with the diced apple/dressing, and sprinkle the cheese and walnut pieces over the top.
If you have time, toast the walnut pieces before you add them to the salad. This is a favorite and I usually have the ingredients on hand.

Baked beans and saurkraut? eeeww I'd much rather have your salad anyday :-)
Santa Claus is not a salad.
He can only be, at most, a gingerbread cookie.
I could have posted the one for the Christmas tree that uses a canned pear, cream cheese and parsley flakes.
Your discription of the cookbook made me think it might be one I had in the stack by my computer. Sure enough there were the flower salads. How silly, I bet they would fall over or lean at a stupid angle. I can just see some 50's housewife in her apron getting all frustrated if she couldn't get them to turn out.
I've often wondered how those were supposed to be displayed: particularly the infamous "candle salad."
How DO you get them to stand upright?
