Ingredients
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 packages unflavored gelatin
Sprinkle gelatin on top of the water; stir. Add:
- 1/2 cup boiling water
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
Stir until all of the gelatin is dissolved. Allow to cool to room temperature, but not yet jelling. Add:
- 3/4 cup shredded cabbage
- 1 large or several small cucumbers, finely chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/2 to 3/4 teaspoons salt
- Juice of 1/2 small lemon
- 1 box cream style cottage cheese
- 1/4 cup coarsely chopped pecans, boiled a minute or two and drained (optional)
Mix all together well. Pour into individual containers or one rectangular glass dish. Refrigerate until congealed. Cut into squares. Serve on lettuce, if desired.
