Tip

Garnishing Salad Molds

Make your salad mold the center of attention by adding some garnishes to the middle.

In the Molded Egg Salad picture, we rolled up thin slices of salami and tucked them in the center along with a few celery leaves. Not only does it add interest and color, the garnishes are edible, too!

You can also roll up thin slices of ham or use bunches of red and green grapes.

Releasing a gelatin salad or dessert from its mold is easy if you follow these simple steps.
