Appetizers in the Diet
Pickles, Familiar Aids to
Mealtime Zest, Used
in Many Ways
MANY of us, remembering how
good grandmother’s meals used
to taste, recall how much hungrier
we got after crunching a few
pickles from the familiar old
pickle-dish that usually graced her
table.
Pickles have been universal fav
orites since long before grand
mother’s day. People not only
liked them for their taste, but
recognized them as appetite-pro
vokers.
Nowadays, these old mealtime
standbys take on a new measure
of dietary importance because of
the increasing recognition of their
health properties. Particularly in
winter, when fresh green vege
tables are often hard to get, they
help to supply us with needed
carbohydrates, mineral salts and
vitamins.
Moreover, pickles fit well into
present-day menus because they
are used in so many ways to give

the modern decorative touch to
meals.
With a bottle or two of pickles
on the pantry shelf, you are pre
pared to give a new note of interest
and modernity to any course in the
menu.
For example, a new piquancy of
flavor and color is added to a fruit
cocktail by the addition of sliced
sweet pickles. In salads pickles
are popular as ingredients of the
salad itself, of the dressings, and
as garnishes for the completed
dish.
otuffod dill slices make an at
tractive and tasty salad:
Select two large dill pickles and remove
centers, using an apple corer or a long
sharp knife. Pack the centers full of
pimiento cream cheese. Chill. Cut in slices
and arrange several on lettuce leaves or the
t tender Inside leaves of cabbage. Garnish
with mayonnaise. These slices may be used
also as a garnish for other salads, or for
meat platters; also on rounds of toast for
a canape.
A delicious tartar sauce to serve
with fish is made as follows:
Add one tablespoon of finely chopped
cucumber pickle and one teaspoon minced
onion to 2/3 cup of mayonnaise.
•Vinaigrette dressing is made i
simply by adding chopped sour
pickle, green pepper, and minced
parsley to French dressing.
