Yogurt Gelatin Ribbon Salad Recipes

LAYERED RAINBOW JELLO (VINTAGE RECIPE)

Steps:

• You will be making two layers from each box of jello. Once you do the first one, you'll have the technique down.
• Use a clear Pyrex dish. The 9X14 size works great for six colors. If your dish is a little smaller, use 5 colors like I did this time.
• I use a 2-cup Pyrex measuring cup to boil my water and a second one for pouring off part of the jello.
• Put one cup of water in your Pyrex measuring cup and boil the water in your microwave. I used the two-minute setting for this.
• Carefully remove the measuring cup from the microwave and add one package of gelatin. Stir until it is completely dissolved.
• Then measure out ¾ cup of the jello into a second container. To this container, add 1/3 cup of sour cream and whisk until it is smooth.
• To the remaining jello, add 2 TB of cold water and mix.
• Pour this into a 9X13 clear baking dish and refrigerate until set.
• After 30 minutes, pull your dish out of the refrigerator and pour the sour cream mixture over the first layer.
• Place the dish back into the refrigerator for another 30 minutes to set.
• Wash your measuring cups and prepare the next layer of jello the same way you made the first layer -- one cup of solid color jello and one mixed with sour cream.
• Pour the clear jello mix over the top of the set layers. Then half an our later, add the sour cream mixture.
• Keep repeating this process until you have all the layers done.
• Cover with foil and refrigerate.

LAYERED RAINBOW JELL-O SALAD

Steps:

• Decide on your color pattern (the order for the colors of Jell-O you've selected), and begin by working with the color that will go on the bottom.
• Boil 1 cup of water in the microwave.
• Add 1 packet of Jell-O to the boiling water and stir until completely dissolved.
• Pour 1/2 cup of this liquid into a 9x13 pan to create a "clear" layer, tilting pan for even coverage if necessary (see note).
• Refrigerate until set (see note).
• While the first layer sets, add 1/2 cup Greek yogurt and 2 tablespoons cold water to the remaining liquid Jell-O for the "cloudy" layer.
• Pour the liquid for your "cloudy" layer on top of the completely set clear layer.
• Refrigerate again until set.
• Repeat this process with each color of Jell-O to create alternating "clear" and "cloudy" layers in each color you've chosen.
• Refrigerate until serving.

YOGURT-GELATIN RIBBON SALAD

Steps:

• In medium bowl, stir 2 cups boiling water into lime gelatin until gelatin is dissolved. In another medium bowl, slowly stir 1 cup of the lime gelatin into lime yogurt. Pour yogurt mixture into 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish. Refrigerate about 1 hour or until set. Stir 2/3 cup cold water into remaining plain lime gelatin; let stand at room temperature.
• When lime yogurt layer is set, carefully pour plain lime gelatin over yogurt layer. Refrigerate about 30 minutes or until set.
• In medium bowl, stir 2 cups boiling water into lemon gelatin until gelatin is dissolved. In another medium bowl, slowly stir 1 cup of the lemon gelatin into lemon yogurt. Pour yogurt mixture over layer of lime gelatin. Refrigerate about 30 minutes or until set. Stir 2/3 cup cold water into remaining plain lemon gelatin; let stand at room temperature.
• When lemon yogurt layer is set, carefully pour plain lemon gelatin over yogurt layer. Refrigerate about 30 minutes or until set.
• In medium bowl, stir 2 cups boiling water into raspberry gelatin until gelatin is dissolved. In another medium bowl, slowly stir 1 cup of the raspberry gelatin into raspberry yogurt. Pour yogurt mixture over layer of lemon gelatin. Refrigerate about 30 minutes or until set. Stir 2/3 cup cold water into remaining plain raspberry gelatin; let stand at room temperature.
• When raspberry yogurt layer is set, carefully pour plain raspberry gelatin over yogurt layer. Refrigerate at least 2 hours until set.

RIBBON JELLO SALAD FROM MRS. B

Steps:

• For filling: Dissolve unflavored gelatin in cold water. Add milk, sour cream, sugar and vanilla. Beat well.
• Layer in 9 X 13 pan, chilling between layers.
• First layer: jello 1, prepared as directed on package.
• Second layer: 1 3/4 cup filling.
• Third layer: jello 2.
• Fourth layer 1 3/4 cup filling.
• Fifth layer: jello 3.
• Sixth layer: 1 3/4 cup filling.
• Seventh layer: jello 4.
• IMPORTANT; Let each layer set well before adding another. (Chill in refrigerator between additions.) Also, let your prepared jello cool to room temperature before layering it into the pan on top of the previous layer. When you pour a new layer in, do not pour it directly on the previous layer. The stream of liquid may be strong enough to "slice" open the layer that is there. Instead, hold a large spoon down near the pan; pour the liquid onto the spoon and let it gently cascade into the pan. The filling will probably set up before you get through all the layers. You can warm it gently to re-liquify; just be sure it is not too hot when you pour it on the previous layer.
• Yes, it is worth it.
