PERFECTION SALAD



Perfection Salad image

A family recipe dating back to the early part of the 20th century, by my great-grandmother. I have a tendency to think of this as Grandpa's salad, because he always prepared it for us. My mom and sister still make it for our holiday family gatherings, although now we usually use sugarfree Jello. (I've recently discovered that Perfection Salad is not something unique to our family - there are a lot of old recipes on net for it. They're generally similar to the one below.)

Categories     Vegetable

Time 20m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup boiling water
1 (3 ounce) package lemon Jell-O gelatin
2 tablespoons vinegar or 2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup cold water
1 cup finely diced celery
1 cup finely shredded cabbage
1 tablespoon dried onion flakes
2 tablespoons chopped pimiento
mayonnaise (Best Foods, Helmann's, or Vegenaise)

Steps:

  • Pour boiling water over jello in bowl.
  • Stir until jello is disolved.
  • Stir in vinegar, veggies, salt, and cold water.
  • Pour into mold, chill until firm.
  • Serve unmolded on chilled plate, topped with a generous dollop of mayonnaise (family tradition of the last 30 years or so demands that you use Best Foods mayo brand - *never* Miracle Whip).
  • If preferred, use 1/2 cup celery and 1 cup grated carrot.
  • You can use sugar-free jello for a diabetic/lowcarb version of Perfection Salad. Sometimes lemon jello is difficult to find - we've sometimes used lime instead.

PERFECTION SALAD

This is another of my mother's recipes. She would always make this in individual molds and top each with mayonnaise. The recipe calls for 1 envelope of Knox gelatin(I do not know the actual ounce size so this is just a guess). Cooking time includes chilling time.
