My mom used to serve this every Christmas on a bed of lettuce, crispy iceberg, and surrounded with green and red grapes. Pecans can be substituted for walnuts.
INGREDIENTS (for 8 servings):
- 1 (6 ounce) package lime flavored gelatin mix
- 3/4 cup boiling water
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup cold water
- 1 cup shredded cabbage
- 1/2 cup grated carrots
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
PREPARATION:
Dissolve gelatin mix in boiling water. Stir in salt. Stir in cold water. Chill until slightly thickened.
Fold cabbage, carrots, and nuts into thickened gelatin. Pour mixture into an 8 inch mold that has been sprayed with a non-stick spray. Chill until firm.
Set mold in a sink of hot water for a few seconds when ready to unmold. Place serving plate on top of mold, and turn over. Lift off mold.
