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

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!

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).

MOLDED JELL-O SALAD

Categories     Salad     Vegetable     Side     Mayonnaise     Spring     Chill     Cottage Cheese     Sugar Conscious     Kidney Friendly     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     Kosher

Yield Serves 8 to 10

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 package lime or lemon Jell-O, dissolved with 1 cup hot water
3/4 cup cold water
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 bottlecapful of vinegar
1 cup cottage cheese
1 cup (total) chopped celery, onions, carrots (if you add too much the Jell-O will be too watery to gel)
Ripe olives or parsley

Steps:

  • In a bowl, combine the dissolved Jell-O, cold water, mayonnaise, and vinegar and mix thoroughly. Transfer to the freezer or refrigerator and allow it to chill well. When it begins to get firm, remove it from the freezer or refrigerator and beat with an electric beater until fluffy. Add cottage cheese and chopped vegetables. Before you put the mixture into a mold, decorate the bottom of the mold with olives or parsley so that when you unmold it there will be a pretty design on top.
  • Another variation is to forego the vinegar and add fruit with the cottage cheese. Just be sure that the salad is firm (overnight in the refrigerator or a few hours in the freezer), otherwise it will be messy when you unmold it.
