1 cup diced raw vegetables or fruit[5]
2 cups diced chicken, meat, seafood or hard-cooked eggs
1 baked 9-inch pie shell
Chopped parsley for garnish
Sprinkle unflavored gelatine on water to soften, stir over moderate heat 2 to 3 minutes to dissolve. Remove from heat, stir in beef broth, mayonnaise, salt and lemon juice. Beat mixture smooth with rotary beater. Chill, stirring occasionally, until mixture mounds slightly when dropped from a spoon. Fold in remaining ingredients and turn into cooled pie shell. Sprinkle border with chopped parsley, if desired. Chill until firm. Makes 6 servings. (Gelatine mixture may also be molded in a pan or other form, rather than in pastry shell.)
Diet Tip: Use low calorie salad dressing. Omit olives and avocado.
