Jellied Vegetable Salad
Awaiting Trial Recipe version 1 · Filed by the Court (seed pool) · Filed from the federal original: 'Jellied Vegetable Salad' in Selections from Aunt Sammy's Radio Recipes and USDA Favorites, U.S. Department of Agriculture, Science and Education Administration, Home and Garden Bulletin No. 215, issued August 1976 (in the 'Recipes from 1976' / USDA Favorites section, with servings stated in the original) — a U.S. federal work, public domain. Text read in full at https://www.gutenberg.org/files/65379/old/65379-0.txt (Project Gutenberg eBook #65379). Natural with one specification: the lemon gelatin is specified gluten-free (flavored gelatin mixes are a check-the-label category); no flour or other gluten ingredient appears in the original. Filed time includes the original's two chilling stages, which the original describes but does not time; the stage times given are editorial estimates, disclosed here.
Lemon gelatin carrying finely cut green pepper, carrot, celery, and radish, molded and turned out on salad greens. A 1976 molded salad, six half-cup servings.
Why this complexity: Vegetables go in only when the gelatin begins to thicken, so they stay suspended instead of sinking; Molds must chill until fully set before unmolding.
Ingredients
- 1 package (3 ounces) gluten-free lemon-flavored gelatin
- 1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 cup cold water

- 1/4 cup shredded carrots

Method
- Mix the flavored and unflavored gelatin. Dissolve in the boiling water. Add the cold water, onion, and salt.
