LIME GELATIN SALAD I

This is a great recipe my mom got from my aunt. She has made it every year for Thanksgiving. It is a family tradition for us. It can be made a day or two ahead of time, if you like. It looks just beautiful in a cut crystal bowl. Thanksgiving is not the same without it for us! We just 'gobble' it up! Chopped walnuts can be substituted for chopped pecans.

AMISH DRY LIME GELATIN SALAD / DESSERT (JELLO)



Amish Dry Lime Gelatin Salad / Dessert (Jello) image

Found on www.AmishDining.com. A recipe seldom gets any easier than this one. Kids could make this with just a bit of supervision. My mother used to make something like this that had these same ingredients. This is much like her's, and since she was not a dessert maker, I am sure she would have opted for a simple recipe. Other flavors of gelatin work too, like Cherry and Strawberry which are perfect for Valentine's Day. NOTE: Times do not include the 2-3 hours for chilling time. Servings are approximate.

LIME JELLO SALAD



Lime Jello Salad image

Congealed salads have long been a part of our family's holidays. This one was served first at my husband's parents' holiday table. It was such a hit with everyone, that it became the standard for our gatherings and continues today. So simple, my husband's aunt had given it to them and yet I found a way to simplify it more by using the blender. This is good even using the sugarfree Jello and lite cream cheese, etc. We love it and have even been known to have it for dessert or....breakfast!!!

VEGETABLE GELATIN SALAD



Vegetable Gelatin Salad image

A great dish for picnics or pot-lucks--especially in the summer when fresh garden vegetables are so abundant. No dairy products, so there's no risk of spoiling after being out on a buffet table for a long time. Just lots of healthy fresh vegetables and the universal appeal of gelatin, for kids and adults alike. I prefer using lemon Jell-O, but I have used lime a lot as well (which is what I used the last time I made this, and remembered to snap a photo). But I've also seen versions of this salad at various pot-luck gatherings that used clear, unflavored gelatin as well. Lots of choices!

Categories     Vegetable

Time 4h15m

Yield 1 molded salad, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 ounces lemon gelatin or 6 ounces lime gelatin
2 cups boiling water
2 cups cold water
1/2 cup chopped pecans or 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup radish, chopped finely
1/2 cup green onion, chopped finely
1/2 cup celery, chopped finely
1/2 cup cucumber, chopped finely
2 tablespoons vinegar
1 pinch salt (or more or less, to taste)

Steps:

  • Place gelatin crystals in a large bowl. Add 2 cups of boiling water, and stir 2 minutes or until gelatin is completely dissolved. Add 2 cups cold water, and stir well. Let cool about 15 minutes, then chill in refrigerator for 1½ hours.
  • Remove gelatin from the refrigerator. Add the chopped nuts, chopped radishes, chopped green onion, chopped celery, chopped cucumbers, vinegar, and desired amount of salt (for seasoning). Stir well.
  • Return the gelatin salad to the refrigerator to set completely, at least 2 to 4 hours (or overnight is ideal).
  • NOTE - Cooking time is primarily the necessary chilling time that it takes for the gelatin to set completely.
  • TIP - you can adjust the ingredients if you wish, using your favorite vegatables. And you can even add fruit if you wish. Just DO NOT include fresh pineapple, kiwi, papaya, figs, or guava (as the gelatin will not set).

  • Serve the salad with a variety of toppings: Suggested toppings include whipped cream, fresh fruit, and nuts. You can also add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup for sweetness.
