Fill the orange baskets with the salad. White grapes can be used the edges alternated with maraschino cherries. These should be cut in halves. Place basket on lettuce leaves, and serve very cold.

A small bow of Christmas ribbon can be tied on the handle, and a small spray of holly inserted if desired. This makes a very attractive dish for the Christmas table.
