Making Gelatin Salads
Gelatin salad, the salad made with the flavored gelatin, fruit and sometimes grated carrots, or other ingredients, such as cottage cheese, cream cheese, marshmallows, nuts or pretzels, is also known as Jell-O salad, jelly salad and congealed salad.
Tips While Making Gelatin Salads:
- Never use fresh or frozen pineapple, guava, figs, kiwifruit or ginger root in molded gelatin salads. They are rich in bromelin, an enzyme destroying the gelatin's protein bonds. The canned products can be used, as this enzyme is destroyed during the canning process.
- Oil the salad mold with light, non flavored oil instead of rinsing it with water.
- Ensure that the gelatin is thoroughly set before you try to unmold the salad.
- Add other ingredients without prechilling the gelatin, they will settle to the bottom of the mold and be on the top when the salad is unmolded.
- Also you can pour gelatin into individual serving cups so you do not need to bother with unmolding a large salad
