Red Green Holiday Bowl Recipes

CONTEST-WINNING HOLIDAY TOSSED SALAD

Steps:

• In a large salad bowl, combine the greens, apples, blue cheese, cranberries, walnuts and onions. In a small bowl, whisk the remaining ingredients. Pour over salad; toss gently to coat. Serve immediately.

CLASSIC HOLIDAY RIBBON SQUARES (JELLO)

Steps:

• Stir 1 cup boiling water into each flavor of gelatin in separate medium bowls at least 2 minutes, until dissolved.
• Stir 3/4 cup of the cold water into the red gelatin.
• Pour into 9-inch square pan.
• Refrigerate about 45 minutes or until set but not firm to the touch (gelatin should still stick to the finger when touched).
• Meanwhile, stir lemon gelatin gradually into cream cheese in large bowl with whisk until smooth.
• (I use the blender for this step, because I don't like lumpy Jello).
• Stir in pineapple with the juice.
• Refrigerate about 45 minutes or until slightly thickened (consistency of unbeaten egg whites).
• Stir in whipped topping and mayonnaise.
• Spoon over red gelatin layer in pan.
• Refrigerate about 30 minutes or until set, but not firm (gelatin should stick to finger and should mound).
• Meanwhile, stir remaining 3/4 cold water into lime gelatin.
• Refrigerate about 30 minutes or until slightly thickened (consistency of unbeaten egg whites).
• Spoon over lemon gelatin mixture in pan.
• Refrigerate 4 hours or until firm.
• Unmold and cut into squares.
• Garnish with small dollop of Cool Whip.
