Perfection Salad
- 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)
- 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.
