In honor of Saint Patrick’s Day, I pulled out this old Betty Crocker recipe from 1975. This is a refreshing and different salad to serve for lunch or a light supper. Add some fruit and a roll and maybe even a dessert to complete your meal. I have also served this at parties as a spread on crackers. The crackers should be plain, like Ritz or the original Triscuits or Water Crackers. Any plain, unseasoned cracker will work. However you choose to serve it, I hope you enjoy.
INGREDIENTS
• 1 cup boiling water
• 3 oz. package lemon flavored gelatin – I have used sugar free
• 12 oz. canned corned beef
• 1 small jar diced pimentos
• 1 cup celery, diced
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 3 hard-boiled eggs, finely chopped
• 1 cup mayonnaise – I use Dukes Mayonnaise which contains no sugar
• Salad greens
• Crackers
DIRECTIONS
1. Pour boiling water on gelatin in a large bowl; stir until gelatin is dissolved. Refrigerate until slightly thickened, about an hour.
2. Break up the corned beef with a fork. Stir corned beef and remaining ingredients (except salad greens) into gelatin mixture.
3. Pour mixture into 6½ cup gelatin mold. Refrigerate until set, about 2 hours. Unmold on salad greens. Salad can be stored in refrigerator up to 48 hours.
