Perfection Salad

[Aunt Bea]

Easter is fast approaching and I am starting to think about what the menu will be.

This year it is a bit of a challenge because I have been trying to eat a low carb diet.

I had a flashback to our family dinners, covered dish suppers etc and this old recipe came to mind.

Oh no, not a jello molded salad!

I remember this one -- served as a salad too, so we didn't "have" to eat a regular salad on our plate. Besides family holidays, it was served at church dinners. I like jello.

I bet one could make an interesting variation on this with unflavoured gelatin instead of Jello.

That sounds interesting, have not heard of anything like that before
