Directions

1

Soak one-half package of gelatin in cold water ten minutes, add one pint of boiling water, one-half cupful of vinegar, the juice of one lemon, one-half cupful of sugar and one teaspoonful of salt. Strain and let cool until it starts to set, add two cupfuls of chopped celery, one cupful of cabbage, and one-fourth of a can of sweet red peppers cut fine. Turn into border mould to harden. Make a cup in the center with lettuce leaves and fill with mayonnaise dressing. Serve very cold. This salad is a delightful accompaniment to any meat course. It is also practical, for it can be kept a week before serving. This quantity will serve twenty people.
