Vegetable sandwich spread
Instructions:
- These make the loveliest little sandwiches if you’re having friends over for iced tea or for a party spread. I also like to serve them at baby showers and bridal showers.
- 2 envelopes unflavored gelatin
- ½ cup cold water
- 1½ cups mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 package Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing mix
- 1¾ cups shredded carrots
- 1 cup finely chopped celery
- 1 large cucumber, seeded and diced
- 1 small onion, finely diced
- In a medium saucepan, sprinkle the gelatin over the cold water; let stand for 1 minute, then heat over low heat, stirring until blended.
- Remove from the heat, let cool, and add the mayonnaise, lemon juice, and ranch dressing.
- Combine all the vegetables in a large bowl and stir in the dressing.
- Cover and refrigerate until ready to use. Spread on sandwich bread.
