Ingredients:
For the Salad:
Potatoes, boiled and diced
Carrots, boiled and diced
Peas, boiled
Corn, boiled
Green beans, boiled
Hard-boiled eggs, diced
Pickles, diced
Green onions, chopped
For the Lime Jello:
Lime jello mix
Water
Lime juice
Sugar
Instructions:
To start, we will prepare the lime jello according to the package instructions. However, instead of using cold water, we will substitute it with lime juice for an extra burst of flavor. Once the jello has set, we can start assembling our Russian salad.
In a large bowl, combine the diced potatoes, carrots, peas, corn, and green beans. Mix in the diced hard-boiled eggs, pickles, and chopped green onions. This combination of vegetables and eggs creates a colorful and nutritious base for our salad.
Next, we will add in the prepared lime jello. Use a fork to break it up into small pieces and mix it into the vegetable mixture. The lime jello adds a tangy and slightly sweet flavor that pairs perfectly with the creamy texture of the salad.
For the dressing, we will use the remaining lime jello mixture. In a small saucepan, heat up the mixture and add in a tablespoon of sugar to balance out the tartness. Once the sugar has dissolved, pour the dressing over the salad and mix well.
Refrigerate the salad for at least an hour before serving. This will give the flavors time to meld together and create a delicious and refreshing salad that is perfect for a hot summer day.
This Russian salad with lime jello is a unique and tasty twist on a classic dish. The combination of tangy lime jello with the traditional flavors of Russian salad creates a delicious and refreshing flavor profile that is sure to impress. Give this recipe a try and enjoy a taste of summer in every bite!
