<Notes>
- Aside from the cooling look and effect of jelly, the dressing keeps its relatively strong flavor when mixed with ingredients, instead of being diluted by moisture from salad ingredients. This makes it possible to use less in final dishes (for a lower-sodium meal) and still allow the relatively strong flavor to come through.
- Make sure that salad ingredients are cold; otherwise the jelly dressing melts and loses these functions.
- When using slightly less gelatin (1.4 g) for the above recipe, finished jelly becomes much looser, with the bottom part not totally solidified (photo at right).
