dinner ring
Bits of meat, fish or poultry are suspended with crisp vegetables in this clear, shimmering main dish—mold it in a ring or fancy shape, then unmold to serve on salad greens. Delicious with potato salad.
2 envelopes Knox Unflavored Gelatine
1 can (10½ oz.) beef broth, divided
1 can (17½ oz.) tomato juice
½ tsp. salt
2 Tbsps. lemon juice
¼ tsp. Tabasco
2 cups diced cooked chicken[4]
1½ cups chopped celery
½ cup chopped cucumber
¼ cup sliced stuffed olives, if desired
Sprinkle gelatine on 1 cup of the beef broth to soften. Place over low heat and stir until gelatine is dissolved, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in remaining beef broth, tomato juice, salt, lemon juice and Tabasco. Chill until mixture mounds slightly when dropped from a spoon. Fold in remaining ingredients. Turn into a 6-cup ring or other mold and chill until firm. Unmold to serve. Makes 6 to 8 servings.
