Molded Waldorf Salad
Low Carbohydrate Recipe

Ingredients:
1 cup jicama -- diced
Two packets sugar free apple cider drink mix
2-1/2 cups sugar free apple cider
1/2 cup boiling water
Two packages (0.3 ounce) sugar free lemon gelatin
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup celery, diced
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped

Recipe makes 12 servings.

Directions:
Place the diced jicama into a small crockpot or crockette. Dissolve the sugar free apple cider drink mix into 1-1/2 cups of the apple cider, or just enough to cover the jicama. Turn on the crock pot or crockette and cook for three to four hours. Remove the jicama and the liquid from the crock pot or crockette and place them in a covered container in the refrigerator until they are chilled. Drain the jicama, reserving the liquid.

Dissolve the lemon gelatin in the boiling water, stirring constantly until it is completely dissolved. Combine the reserved liquid from the crock pot or crockette and enough additional apple cider to equal 2-1/2 cups. Pour the apple cider into the dissolved gelatin and stir to combine.

Refrigerate the gelatin mixture until a spoon drawn across the top leaves an indentation, about 1-1/2 hours. Remove the gelatin from the refrigerator and stir in the mayonnaise until it is completely incorporated. (A wire whisk works best for this.) Add the drained jicama, diced celery, and chopped walnuts to the gelatin mixture, stirring to combine.

Pour the gelatin mixture into a 6-cup ring mold or into 12 individual gelatin molds or custard cups. Cover and refrigerate until the gelatin is set, at least 4 hours or overnight. If using a ring or individual gelatin molds, unmold on a bed of lettuce to serve, or just eat it directly out of the custard cups
