Mix gelatine, sugar and salt thoroughly in small saucepan. Add ½ cup of the water. Place over low heat, stirring constantly until gelatine is dissolved. Remove from heat and stir in remaining ¾ cup of water, vinegar and lemon juice. Chill mixture to unbeaten egg white consistency. Fold in vegetables.

diet tip:

Make this a really low-calorie salad treat by using artificial sweetener in place of sugar. Soften gelatine in cold water first.
