PERFECTION SALAD- GRANDMA'S VERSION
Perfection Salad was invented in 1905 when Knox gelatin ran a recipe contest. A Pennsylvania woman won 3rd place with this salad and, now her salad is famous and the other 2 recipes that got the higher awards are unknown. You never know. :) Here is my Grandma's version of Perfection Salad. I understand it is a little different...

You can omit the sugar and the unflavored gelatin and lemon juice--and use a 3 oz. package of lemon or lime Jell-O in place of them. Keep the water amounts and vinegar and salt the same. Recipe from Maytag Dutch Oven Cookbook- 1949.

Add cabbage, celery and carrots, distributing them evenly throughout gelatin mixture.

PERFECTION SALAD
A family recipe dating back to the early part of the 20th century, by my great-grandmother. I have a tendency to think of this as Grandpa's salad, because he always prepared it for us. My mom and sister still make it for our holiday family gatherings, although now we usually use sugarfree Jello. (I've recently discovered that Perfection Salad is not something unique to our family - there are a lot of old recipes on net for it. They're generally similar to the one below.)

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.
