Molded Gazpacho Salad

By Linda Larsen, About.com

If you don't have seasoned tomato vegetable juice, otherwise known as V-8, just season ordinary tomato juice with celery salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and a bit of cayenne pepper to taste.

Prep Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1-1/2 Tbsp. unflavored gelatin
  • 2 cups seasoned tomato vegetable juice
  • 1 large tomato, seeded and chopped
  • 1 cucumber, peeled, seeded, chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
  • 2 Tbsp. diced green chilies
  • 1/4 cup sliced green onions
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup tiny cooked salad shrimp, if desired
  • romaine leaves, rinsed and dried

Preparation:

In large bowl, soften gelatin in 1/4 cup of the tomato juice. Heat remaining juice until almost boiling and pour over gelatin mixture. Stir until gelatin is totally dissolved. Add vegetables and shrimp. Rinse a one quart mold or 9x9" square pan with cold water, then pour vegetable mixture into the mold. Cover and chill overnight. Unmold on a platter lined with romaine leaves or slice and serve on romaine lettuce leaves. 4-6 servings
