Ingredients

• 1 cup boiling water
• 1 (3 ounce) package lemon-flavored gelatin mix (such as Jell-O®)
• 1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple in juice, drained and juice reserved
• 1 cup chopped cooked ham
• 1 cup finely chopped cabbage
• 2 teaspoons spicy brown mustard, or to taste
• 0.5 cup chopped celery
• 0.5 cup mayonnaise
• 1.5 tablespoons white wine vinegar
• 0.5 cup cold water, or as needed

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Dissolve lemon gelatin in boiling water in a large bowl. Pour reserved pineapple juice and white wine vinegar into a measuring cup; add enough cold water to measure 1 cup. Stir water-juice mixture into gelatin mixture; refrigerate until cold and beginning to set, about 30 minutes.

Step 2

Stir mayonnaise and spicy brown mustard together in a bowl; whisk mayonnaise mixture into cooled lemon gelatin mixture until smooth. Gently fold cabbage, ham, celery, and reserved pineapple into gelatin. Transfer mixture into a ring-shaped gelatin mold.

Step 3

Chill in the refrigerator until firmly set, about 4 hours.

Step 4

To serve, dip the gelatin mold into hot water to loosen the sides; place a plate on top of the mold, invert, and gently lift the mold from salad.
