INGREDIENTS

  • Gelatin base

    • 1 (3 ounce) package lemon-flavored gelatin mix (such as Jell-O®)
    • 🌊 1 cup boiling water
    • 🍍 1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple in juice, drained and juice reserved
    • 1 ½ tablespoons white wine vinegar
    • 🌊 ½ cup cold water, or as needed

  • Mix-ins

    • ½ cup mayonnaise
    • 2 teaspoons spicy brown mustard, or to taste
    • 🥬 1 cup finely chopped cabbage
    • ½ cup chopped celery
    • 🥓 1 cup chopped cooked ham

STEPS

1

Dissolve lemon gelatin in boiling water in a large bowl.

2

Pour reserved pineapple juice and white wine vinegar into a measuring cup; add enough cold water to measure 1 cup. Stir water-juice mixture into gelatin mixture; refrigerate until cold and beginning to set, about 30 minutes.

3

Stir mayonnaise and spicy brown mustard together in a bowl; whisk mayonnaise mixture into cooled lemon gelatin mixture until smooth.

4

Gently fold cabbage, ham, celery, and reserved pineapple into gelatin. Transfer mixture into a ring-shaped gelatin mold.

5

Chill in the refrigerator until firmly set, about 4 hours.

6

To serve, dip the gelatin mold into hot water to loosen the sides; place a plate on top of the mold, invert, and gently lift the mold from salad.
