Shivering Elizabeth Salad
Ingredients
Salad
- 2 (11 ounce) cans mandarin oranges
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 small box orange gelatin
- 1 pint orange sherbet, softened
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
Dressing
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup yogurt
- 1/2 cup mango or peach chutney, pureed
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, divided
- Zest of 1 lemon (optional)
Instructions
Salad
- Oil a 6 to 8 cup decorative mold.
- Drain oranges, reserving them and their syrup.
- Pour lemon juice into a measuring cup. Add enough orange syrup to make 3/4 cup liquid.
- Heat liquid in a medium-size saucepan, and stir in the gelatin until it is dissolved.
- Add sherbet and sour cream to the warm gelatin and stir until they are well combined.
- Transfer the pan to the refrigerator and chill for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the gelatin turns syrupy.
- Stir in drained oranges and pour gelatin into the prepared mold.
- Chill it until it sets, 1 to 2 hours.
- Make the salad dressing while the gelatin sets.
Dressing
- Combine all ingredients except for 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice in a small bowl and stir well. Add additional lemon juice, if needed, for tartness.
- The dressing may be made a day ahead if it is kept covered and refrigerated.
- Unmold the salad shortly before serving time. Serve it topped with the dressing.
