Layered Rainbow Salad Pots Recipes

LAYERED RAINBOW JELL-O SALAD

Steps:

• Decide on your color pattern (the order for the colors of Jell-O you've selected), and begin by working with the color that will go on the bottom.
• Boil 1 cup of water in the microwave.
• Add 1 packet of Jell-O to the boiling water and stir until completely dissolved.
• Pour 1/2 cup of this liquid into a 9x13 pan to create a "clear" layer, tilting pan for even coverage if necessary (see note).
• Refrigerate until set (see note).
• While the first layer sets, add 1/2 cup Greek yogurt and 2 tablespoons cold water to the remaining liquid Jell-O for the "cloudy" layer.
• Pour the liquid for your "cloudy" layer on top of the completely set clear layer.
• Refrigerate again until set.
• Repeat this process with each color of Jell-O to create alternating "clear" and "cloudy" layers in each color you've chosen.
• Refrigerate until serving.

• In separate bowls, prepare the cherry, lemon and orange-pineapple flavored gelatins with 1 cup boiling water and add 1/2 cup evaporated milk when each cools to room temperature.
• Add the room temperature black cherry flavored gelatin to a 13x9 inch pan and refrigerate until chilled. Follow with a layer of the cherry flavor, lime flavor, lemon flavor, orange flavor, orange-pineapple flavor and strawberry flavor, allowing each layer to cool before adding the next.

LAYERED RAINBOW SALAD POTS

Steps:

• Cook the pasta until it is still a little al dente (2 mins less than the pack instructions) and drain well. Cook the green beans in simmering water for 2 mins, then rinse in cold water and drain well. Mix the tuna with the mayonnaise and yogurt. Add the chives, if using.
• Tip the pasta into a large glass bowl or four small ones, or four wide-necked jars (useful for taking on picnics). Spoon the tuna dressing over the top of the pasta. Add a layer of green beans, followed by a layer of cherry tomatoes, then the pepper and sweetcorn. Cover and chill until you're ready to eat.
