Work wonders with your imagination & Diamond walnuts with this chocolate-walnut ribbon angel food cake

1956 Walnut ribbon angel cake recipe

Walnuts work wonders in salads, too! Turkey salad a la Waldorf Cut thin slices from 3 or 4 unpeeled apples for garnish (allow 3 slices per serving). Cube remaining apples; mix with 1 cup chopped cooked turkey (or chicken, ham or veal). 1-1/2 cups thinly-sliced celery and 1/2 cup chopped Diamond Walnuts. Add salt to taste; mix with mayonnaise. Spoon into lettuce cups. Garnish with apple slices, mayonnaise and festive Diamond Walnut halves. Serves 6. IN-THE-SHELL OR SHELLED, DIAMOND WALNUTS GIVE YOU PLUMP KERNELS, FINE FLAVOR In-the-shell -- get Diamond Walnuts in cellophane bags (red for Large size, blue for Medium). They're California's finest -- plump, tender kernels every time. Perfect for your nut bowl -- it's fun to crack these thin-shelled nuts. Thrifty, too -- you get over two full cups of usable kernels from every pound of Diamonds. Shelled -- for year-round use. Get 8- or 4-ounce cans of Diamond halves and pieces. Vacuum-packed so you get them as fresh and sweet as the day they were shelled. Can re-closes tightly, protects crispness and flavor. Wonderfully convenient -- surprisingly economical. Check the cost per ounce yourself.
