MOLDED TUNA SALAD

Steps:

• Using salad oil, lightly grease (or spray w/PAM) a large round mold or 8 individual serving molds. Invert mold(s) on paper towels to allow drainage of any excess oil (Ramekins would work very well w/this).
• Combine tuna with eggs, olives & onion.
• Soften gelatin in cold water for 5 minutes. Then dissolve over hot water bath, remove from heat & add mayonnaise gradually, stirring constantly.
• Fold into tuna mixture, turn into mold(s) & chill till firm.
• TO SERVE: Unmold on lettuce leaves or mixed greens & garnish as desired.
• NOTE RE SERVING SIZES: The info I have given is based on individual salad servings as part of a meal. As a luncheon entree, I would expect 6 servings from this recipe.
