Amish Perfection Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Mix together the Jell-O and sugar in a 9-inch glass pie plate.
• Add boiling water and stir for at least 2 minutes, until fully dissolved.
• Stir in the cold water and refrigerate 35 to 40 minutes, uncovered, until the Jell-O has set to a point between liquid and solid but is not fully firm.
• Add the pineapple and carrots. (Adding the pineapple and carrots at this stage will cause the heavier pineapple to sink to the bottom and the lighter carrots to stay on top.).
• DO NOT STIR.
• Refrigerate until firm.

Steps:

• Place the potatoes into a pot and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Season generously with salt. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat to medium and continue to cook until the potatoes are tender, about 5 minutes.
• While the potatoes are cooking, begin the dressing. Combine the vinegar and sugar in a small microwave-safe bowl. Cook until the sugar has dissolved, about 30 seconds. Add the mixture to a food processor along with the mustard, celery seed and the yolk of 1 of the hard-boiled eggs. Pulse until combined.
• Drain the potatoes and add to a large bowl. Toss together with 2 tablespoons of the dressing and reserve the remaining dressing in the food processor. Chill the potatoes in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
• Finish the dressing by adding the mayonnaise, 1/2 teaspoon salt, remaining 2 eggs plus the egg white and 1 cup of the potatoes, reserving the remaining potatoes for the salad. Process until smooth yet with some texture remaining.
• Mix the reserved potatoes with the dressing along with the celery, onion and relish. Taste for seasoning.

Steps:

• Set aside 1 cup whipped topping. Place the remaining topping in a large bowl; sprinkle with gelatin and stir until combined. Fold in the pineapple, oranges, marshmallows and pecans if desired. Garnish with reserved topping.

Steps:

• Combine chopped broccoli and cauliflower in large bowl.
• In a separate bowl combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, sugar and salt to make a dressing.
• Add the dressing to the broccoli/cauliflower mix, stirring to evenly coat the veggies.
• Stir in the bacon and cheese, reserving a small amount to sprinkle on top of salad just before serving.
• Refridgerate until serving.

Steps:

• Pour boiling water over jello in bowl.
• Stir until jello is disolved.
• Stir in vinegar, veggies, salt, and cold water.
• Pour into mold, chill until firm.
• Serve unmolded on chilled plate, topped with a generous dollop of mayonnaise (family tradition of the last 30 years or so demands that you use Best Foods mayo brand - *never* Miracle Whip).
• If preferred, use 1/2 cup celery and 1 cup grated carrot.
• You can use sugar-free jello for a diabetic/lowcarb version of Perfection Salad. Sometimes lemon jello is difficult to find - we've sometimes used lime instead.
