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.

I have been making this for years. I substitute two (3-oz.) pkgs. cranberry Jell-o for the raspberry. If you mix the spices with the Jell-o powder before adding the boiling water, they will not "float" to the top. I also sub out a can of drained mandarin oranges for the orange segments - cleaner and neater.
