Meet the Cook: Whenever I have company, I like to be able to just pop the food on the table. So this recipe's a real favorite of mine. I got it from a friend who made it for our church get-togethers. My husband and I raised four children; today, we have seven grandchildren. In our small town, farmland surrounds us on three sides, and we face the Columbia River on the other. -Lois Chapman, Ridgefield, Washington

Forgot to answer Nancy Headlee's question. I served mine with crackers & also had mini croisants to spread it on, if desired. Both the crackers & croisants were used & this was served as a snack. There was some left over & I just packed it into a bowl to use it later as a sandwich. Worked great all the different ways.

Made this salad & it turned out very attractive & was very good tasting. Just wanted to give a hint about chopping the eggs. Because you want the pieces small, use a pastry blender & keep using it until you get the desired size needed. Thanks Lois for a different way to present egg salad.

Very pretty and tasty. I add a bit of yellow mustard to the gelatin/mayonnaise mixture. That's the way my mother did it, and I like the taste and color it imparts.
