Green Appetizer Salad with Lemon Mint Dressing

July 30, 2018 by mgrc Leave a Comment

A crisp, colorful salad served in a handsome bowl makes a novel and nourishing cocktail-hour appetizer, and may serve as a first course, too. On informal occasions, when dinner is served “lap style,” prepare an extra-large salad and continue to serve it throughout the evening, right up to dessert.

This is Apertifs, Card 22 from the 2 in 1 International Recipe Card Collection. The card contains two drinks, a recipe for Green Appetizer Salad, and a recipe for Lemon Mint Salad Dressing. I’ve combined the salad and salad dressing into one recipe. The salad serves 4-6. Copyright 1977 by Random House, Inc. All rights reserved. Printed in the USA.

Adonis

2 jiggers dry sheery
1 jigger sweet red vermouth
1 dash orange bitters
Stir well with ice and strain into cocktail glass. For a Greek Adonis, follow instructions as before, but add 1 tablespoon ouzo to mixture before stirring with ice. The picture on the card shows a Greek Adonis.

Triple Crown

2/3 jigger dry vermouth
2/3 jigger gin
1/3 jigger Cointreau or triple sec
3 dashes orange bitters
Shake well with ice and strain into prechilled cocktail glass. Garnish with orange twist.
