Ruby Red Raspberry Salad
I usually make this delicious and attractive salad for Christmas but have been known to make it at other times of the year as well. It is a good accompaniment with both turkey and ham. It also comes from Taste of Home cooking magazine.
List of Ingredients
- 1 package (3 ounces) raspberry flavored gelatin
- 2 cups boiling water, divided
- 1 package (10 ounces) frozen raspberries in syrup
- 1 1/2 cups sour cream
- 1 package (3 ounces) cherry flavored gelatin
- 1 can (20 ounces) crushed pineapple, drained
- 1 can (16 ounces) whole berry cranberry sauce
- Lettuce leaves
- Mayonnaise or salad dressing, optional
- Mint leaves, optional
Instructions
- Dissolve raspberry gelatin in 1 cup boiling water. Add raspberries and stir until berries are thawed and separated. Pour into a 13 inch by 9 inch by 2 inch pan; chill until set.
- Carefully spread with sour cream; chill.
- Dissolve cherry gelatin in remaining boiling water. Add pineapple and cranberry sauce; mix well. Allow to thicken slightly.
- Carefully spoon over sour cream mixture; chill.
- Cut into squares and serve on lettuce leaves. If desired, top each with a dollop of mayonnaise and garnish with a mint leaf.
