Vegetable Party Sandwiches - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 (1/4 ounce) envelope unflavored gelatin
1/4 cup cold water
2 large carrots, grated very fine
2 celery ribs, chopped very fine
2 cucumbers, peeled, seeded, chopped fine
1 small onion, minced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 pint mayonnaise (recommend Hellman's)
2 loaves white bread (long square-type)

Preparation

Dissolve gelatin in water according to directions.
In a large bowl, mix dissolved gelatin with carrots, celery, cucumber, onion, lemon juice and mayonnaise. Refrigerate for 25 hours.
When ready to make sandwiches, if mixture is too jelled to spread well, add 1/3 to 1/2 cup more mayonnaise.
Using an electric knife, trim crusts from bread edges. Spread vegetable mixture on bread and make 28 sandwiches. Cut into quarters.
Layer cut sandwiches in a large plastic container with damp paper towels between layers until serving time.
