This will be enough to serve about twenty-eight persons. BELL PEPPERS AS A GARNISH Peppers either green or red may be used in a number of ways, both pleasing to the eye and palate. Besides the many ways of stuffing with different meats, they are nice as a garnish for many vegetables and salads. To make pretty salad cups, cut off the small end and trim the stem end of the peppers until the cup stands firmly. Remove the seeds and all white portions and fill with chicken, salmon or potato salad or cold slaw, put a little Gelfands mayonnaise or chopped egg on top and set the cups on lettuce leaves. To use as a garnish, cut the ends off of the peppers and scrape the inside clean, then cut in thin rings, and place green ones over sliced tomatoes.
