This recipe was hand-written on a recipe card...in Grandma's oak recipe file box:
Witch salad was devised for Hallowe'en but it tastes equally good any other day in the year. To make it, mix one cup chopped apple, 1cup chopped celery, 1/2 cup chopped dates and moisten well with mayonnaise. Arrange a mound of this mixture in th center of a next of shredded lettuce. Over each, invert half peach, rounded side up, from No 2 1/2 can peaches. On each peach make a face using whole clove for eyes and nose and narrow strips of canned pimento for mouth. Pass extra mayonnaise with salad. Serves 8.
