Steps:

• Use microwave to heat water.
• In large mixing bowl, add both boxes dry Jello. Stir in hot water to completely dissolve Jello.
• Start preparing veggies/fruit/nuts, shred, chop, dice, whatever. About 2 cups works best and assures a bit of crunch in each bite.
• Then begin stirring into Jello mixture, one at a time, each of your prepared veggies/fruit/nuts.
• Blend in mayonnaise, blend in evaporated milk, and blend in cottage cheese.
• Add Lemon Pepper, give another real good stir so everything is well distributed.
• Can be poured into mold or attractive serving bowl if desired, or leave in mixing bowl. Return combined gelatin salad to fridge, thoroughly chill. Can be turned out onto plate or scooped.

7-LAYER GELATIN SALAD

Steps:

• In a small bowl, add 3/4 cup boiling water to 1 gelatin package; stir 2 minutes to completely dissolve. Stir in 3/4 cup cold water. Pour into a 3-qt. trifle or glass bowl. Refrigerate until set but not firm, about 40 minutes., In a clean bowl, dissolve another gelatin package into 1/2 cup boiling water. Stir in 1/2 cup cold water and 1/2 cup milk. Spoon over the first layer. Refrigerate until set but not firm., Repeat 5 times, alternating plain and creamy gelatin layers. Refrigerate each layer until set but not firm before adding the next layer. Refrigerate, covered, overnight. Serve with whipped topping and, if desired, fruit.

VEGETABLE GELATIN SALAD

Steps:

• Place gelatin crystals in a large bowl. Add 2 cups of boiling water, and stir 2 minutes or until gelatin is completely dissolved. Add 2 cups cold water, and stir well. Let cool about 15 minutes, then chill in refrigerator for 1½ hours.
• Remove gelatin from the refrigerator. Add the chopped nuts, chopped radishes, chopped green onion, chopped celery, chopped cucumbers, vinegar, and desired amount of salt (for seasoning). Stir well.
• Return the gelatin salad to the refrigerator to set completely, at least 2 to 4 hours (or overnight is ideal).
• NOTE - Cooking time is primarily the necessary chilling time that it takes for the gelatin to set completely.
• TIP - you can adjust the ingredients if you wish, using your favorite vegatables. And you can even add fruit if you wish. Just DO NOT include fresh pineapple, kiwi, papaya, figs, or guava (as the gelatin will not set).
