Directions:
Cut lemon in half lengthwise; cut one half into eight thin wedges. Thread olives and lemon wedges onto toothpicks for garnishes; set aside. Using the lemon half, moisten the rims of eight large martini glasses. Sprinkle salt on a plate; hold glasses upside down and dip rims into salt. Divide the salad greens, tomatoes, onion and sliced olives among prepared glasses. Top each with a prepared toothpick. Dressing: In a food processor, combine shallot and olives; cover and process until finely chopped. Add the vinegar, vodka, olive juice and lemon juice; cover and process until blended. While processing, gradually add oil in a steady stream. Divide dressing among eight shot glasses; serve with salads.

Personal Notes:
This salad is clever, but a bit of work. Most of the time I just mix the salad greens, red onion and olives in a pretty glass bowl. Then I make the dressing using white wine vinegar instead of vodka and pour it over the salad.
