Rice stick salad is a terrific vehicle for vegetables. Play around with the ingredients here - if you have different vegetables than those called for, try them. You might shred lettuce in addition to the cabbage, add some bean sprouts, add a minced chili or some cayenne if you want a little spice.

MOLDED VEGETABLE SALAD
I FOUND this recipe years ago in an old cookbook. By using different colored gelatins, it blends in well with special holiday dinners. Of course, I use lime for our St. Patrick's Day celebration. Whatever the holiday, this salad is a big hit and there's seldom any leftover. -Pauline Albert, Catasauqua, Pennsylvania

Tips:
- Choose fresh, crisp vegetables: The fresher the vegetables, the better the salad will be. Look for vegetables that are brightly colored and free of blemishes.
- Shred the vegetables finely: This will help the dressing to coat the vegetables evenly and make the salad more flavorful.
- Use a variety of vegetables: This will add color, texture, and flavor to the salad. Some good options include carrots, celery, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, and zucchini.
- Don't overdress the salad: A little dressing goes a long way. Too much dressing can make the salad soggy and bland.
- Serve the salad immediately: Shredded veggie salad is best served fresh. If you need to make it ahead of time, store the vegetables and dressing separately and assemble the salad just before serving.
