Cucumber & Grapefruit Mold Recipe

Prep: 25 min. + chilling

Yield: 6 Servings

15 10 25

Ingredients

3 large pink grapefruit
1 envelope unflavored gelatin
1/4 cup cold water
2 tablespoons sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon white balsamic vinegar
1 cup chopped seeded peeled cucumber
Leaf lettuce leaves, optional

Directions

Cut each grapefruit in half; remove sections, reserving juice. Set sections aside. Add enough water to juice to measure 1-1/2 cups.
In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over cold water; let stand for 1 minute.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine the sugar, salt and grapefruit juice mixture. Cook and stir until sugar is dissolved. Remove from the heat; stir in gelatin until completely dissolved. Stir in vinegar. Chill until slightly thickened, about 1 hour.
Fold in cucumber and grapefruit sections. Transfer to a 1-qt. mold coated with cooking spray. Refrigerate until firm.
Unmold onto a lettuce-lined serving plate if desired. Yield: 6 servings.
