This recipe came from the Watkins Estate in Mesquite, Texas. I obtained this and several hundred recipes when I purchased the collection at an estate sale in 1984. Enjoy.

1/4 cup red onion finely diced

1 cup scallion dressing (below)

1/2 cup mild lager

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

12 scallions sliced thin

1/4 teaspoon tabasco sauce.

Directions:
