The French Fruit Salad is, as you might expect, a salad of fruit and nuts. What makes it French and a salad, rather than a dessert, is French dressing. I know you probably just thought of the creamy orange stuff, but at this time French dressing was a simple vinaigrette.

Nut Caramel Cake is a mystery. I can’t find it in any of the Fannie Farmer cookbooks available to me. Let me know if you know where the recipe is!
