Molded Tuna Salad - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 (6 ounce) cans tuna (water-packed)
    2 eggs (hard-boiled & chopped)
    1/2 cup pimento stuffed olive (chopped)
    1 tablespoon onion (minced, or sub chopped chives)
    2 tablespoons plain gelatin
    1/2 cup cold water
    2 cups mayonnaise
Preparation
    Using salad oil, lightly grease (or spray w/PAM) a large round mold or 8 individual serving molds. Invert mold(s) on paper towels to allow drainage of any excess oil (Ramekins would work very well w/this).
    Combine tuna with eggs, olives & onion.
    Soften gelatin in cold water for 5 minutes. Then dissolve over hot water bath, remove from heat & add mayonnaise gradually, stirring constantly.
    Fold into tuna mixture, turn into mold(s) & chill till firm.
    TO SERVE: Unmold on lettuce leaves or mixed greens & garnish as desired.
    NOTE RE SERVING SIZES: The info I have given is based on individual salad servings as part of a meal. As a luncheon entree, I would expect 6 servings from this recipe.
