Randys Wedding Gelatin Salad Recipes

DELIGHT GELATIN SALAD

Steps:

• Put cottage cheese into bowl.
• Sprinkle with dry gelatin crystals.
• Mix in drained fruit.
• Cover and refrigerate overnight.
• Before serving, stir in whipped topping.
• Recipe may be doubled.
• I usually use a"red" fruit flavor (like cherry or raspberry) with crushed pineapple-- Use your imagination!
• Options: You can add chopped nuts, miniature marshmallows, and/or cherries!

SO-SIMPLE CRANBERRY GELATIN SALAD

Steps:

• Lightly brush 6 1/2-cup ring mold or 1 1/2-quart decorative bowl with vegetable oil.
• In large bowl, pour boiling water on gelatin; stir until gelatin is dissolved. Stir in cranberry-orange sauce. Fold in raspberries. Pour into mold or bowl. Cover and refrigerate at least 6 hours but no longer than 24 hours.
• To unmold salad from ring mold, dip mold into hot water for 10 seconds. Place serving plate upside down onto mold; turn plate and mold over, then remove mold. Refrigerate salad until serving. If using decorative bowl, do not unmold; scoop salad from bowl to serve.

VEGETABLE GELATIN SALAD

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).
