Categories: Salads
Yield: 6 servings


1 pk lime gelatin powder
1 c water
7 oz lemon-lime soda
1 c applesauce
: Garnish: ---
: grapes -- frosted, * see
: note
: mint sprigs

* To make frosted grapes for decorations: Beat an egg
white until frothy. Dip the grapes into egg white then
immediately roll in sugar, preferably superfine, and
then lay on waxed paper until dry. Use tinted sugar
for more color variety.

SALAD: 1. Place lime-flavored gelatin into bowl; add 1
cup very hot water and stir until gelatin is
completely dissolved. Blend in a 7-ounce bottle of
lemon-lime carbonated soft drink. Chill this mixture
until consistency of unbeaten egg whites. 2. Lightly
oil a decorative 1-quart mold with vegetable oil; do
not use olive oil. Invert mold to drain off any excess
oil. 3. When gelatin is somewhat thickened, add 1 cup
thick applesauce. Blend quickly. Pour mixture into
mold and chill until firm. 4. Unmold onto serving
plate and surround mold with frosted grapes and sprigs
of mint.
