'course between salad and dessert' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for entree that I've seen before include "Dish; right of admission" , "The right to be admitted" , "The right ot privilege of admission" , "Principal dish and right to enter" , "Right to take part" .)
