CORNED BEEF SALAD



CORNED BEEF SALAD image

Years ago, the ladies of our church would have "tasting bees" where you would pay a small price to taste a new recipe that was made by one of them. This was their way to make money for the church. This is one of my favorites from the old "tasting bee cookbook" from years past. Don't be put off by the title, its flavor will...

Categories     Beef Salads

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 3 oz pkg. lemon jello
1-1/2 c hot water
2 c celery, chopped
1/4 c onion, chopped
1 c mayonnaise
1 can(s) corned beef

Steps:

  • 1. Mix Jello and hot water. When Jello is partly gelled, add celery and onion.
  • 2. Mix mayonnaise and corned beef; add to Jello.
  • 3. Pour into a 9x13 pan and let stand overnight in refrigerator. Cut in squares and serve.

Tips:

  • To achieve the best flavor, opt for high-quality corned beef. Look for cuts with a deep red color and minimal fat.
  • If you're using store-bought corned beef, rinse it thoroughly under cold water to remove excess salt. You can also soak it in water overnight to further reduce the saltiness.
  • For a more tender salad, cook the corned beef until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). You can check the temperature using a meat thermometer.
  • To enhance the flavor of the salad, add vegetables that complement the corned beef, such as potatoes, carrots, celery, and onions. You can also add hard-boiled eggs, pickles, or chopped parsley.
  • For a creamy salad, use mayonnaise or sour cream as the dressing. You can also use a vinegar-based dressing for a tangy flavor.
  • Serve the salad immediately or chill it for later. Leftover corned beef salad can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Corned beef salad is a versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a main course, a side dish, or a sandwich filling. It's also a great way to use up leftover corned beef. With its combination of tender corned beef, flavorful vegetables, and creamy dressing, corned beef salad is a delicious and satisfying dish that's perfect for any occasion.
