Green Olive Relish
The recipes of dietitians who can
compose novel foods are in great
demand, for every hostess delights
in placing an unusual dish before
her guests. Here is one of the
most tasteful relishes of the 1922
compositions. The saltiness of the
green olives blends with the cab-
bage, celery and beets in a manner
tha,t can be appreciated only by
sampling:
One cup stoned Spanish green
olives (chopped), one cup chopped
young cabbage, one-half cup celery
cut in rings, one-half cup finely
diced cold boiled beets, one-half cup
French dressing, one-quarter cup
sugar, one tablespoonful mixed salt,
pepper and paprika. Mix these in-
gredients, chill, and serve with meat
course. This relish may be pre-
pared in twenty minutes and will
serve seven or eight.
