Pear-Lime Salad
Lime juice and peel lend a refreshing tang to this creamy low fat gelatin salad recipe.
Ingredients
-
1 16-ounce can pear halves (juice pack)
-
1 4-serving-size package sugar-free low-calorie lime-flavored gelatin
-
1/2 cup boiling water
-
1/2 teaspoon finely shredded lime peel
-
1 tablespoon lime juice
-
1 8-ounce package fat-free cream cheese, softened
Directions
1.
Drain pears, reserving 2/3 cup juice. Chop pears; set aside. In a medium bowl, combine gelatin and boiling water, stirring until gelatin dissolves. Stir in reserved juice, the lime peel, and lime juice. Cover and chill about 45 minutes or until partially set (the consistency of unbeaten egg whites).
2.
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed for 30 seconds; gradually beat in gelatin mixture until combined. Fold in chopped pears. Pour into a 3-1/2- to 4-cup mold. Cover and chill about 4 hours or until firm. Unmold salad onto a serving plate. Makes 6 side-dish servings.
