1 cup boiling water
1 (3 ounce) package lemon Jell-O gelatin
2 tablespoons vinegar or 2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup cold water
1 cup finely diced celery
1 cup finely shredded cabbage
1 tablespoon dried onion flakes
2 tablespoons chopped pimiento
mayonnaise (Best Foods, Helmann's, or Vegenaise)

1
Pour boiling water over jello in bowl.
2
Stir until jello is disolved.
3
Stir in vinegar, veggies, salt, and cold water.
4
Pour into mold, chill until firm.
5
Serve unmolded on chilled plate, topped with a generous dollop of mayonnaise (family tradition of the last 30 years or so demands that you use Best Foods mayo brand - *never* Miracle Whip).
6
If preferred, use 1/2 cup celery and 1 cup grated carrot.
7
You can use sugar-free jello for a diabetic/lowcarb version of Perfection Salad. Sometimes lemon jello is difficult to find - we've sometimes used lime instead.
