Health benefits of Molded Coleslaw Eggs

Lemons can help to prevent oxidative damage to the body, which women with PCOS are often susceptible to. Lemons are also rich in vitamin C, flavonoids, and other antioxidants. They can potentially support the immune system and have other health benefits. Lemons also have a low glycemic index, so they should not cause a rapid rise in blood sugar when consumed in natural form.

Ingredients

1 box lemon gelatin
2 tbsp. cider vinegar
1/2 tsp. salt
2 medium carrots
2 scallions
1 bunch Italian parsley
6 c. finely shredded Savoy cabbage
Serve with: coleslaw dressing

Instructions

Arrange 8 Reynolds foil egg-shaped baking cups (we're using them as molds) on a tray or on a small rimmed baking sheet. Lightly coat the foil cups with nonstick spray.
Stir gelatin, 1 cup boiling water, the vinegar and salt in a medium bowl until gelatin completely dissolves. Stir in 3 ⁄4 cup cold water. Spoon 2 tsp into each foil mold to cover bottoms. Refrigerate until gelled while preparing remaining ingredients.
Cut 8 thin slices from larger end of 1 carrot. Cut each slice into a flower shape with a small, sharp knife or a 1-in. metal aspic cutter. Finey shred remaining carrots (you should have about 3 ⁄4 cup).
Cut narrow lengthwise strips, each 2 to 2 1 ⁄2 in. long, from scallion greens for flower "stems." Mince remaining scallions (you should have about 2 Tbsp).
Remove molds from refrigerator. Arrange a carrot flower and scallion stem in each. Place 1 or 2 of the smallest parsley leaves at the stems. Mince enough of the remaining parsley to make 2 Tbsp.
Stir 2 2 ⁄3 cups cabbage (wrap and refrigerate the rest), the shredded carrots and minced scallions and parsley into remaining gelatin. Divide mixture evenly among molds, filling with a scant 1 ⁄3 cup in each. Refrigerate at least 4 hours, or overnight.
To unmold: Gently pull edges of foil slightly away from gelatin. Invert each mold on center of a salad plate. Arrange remaining shredded cabbage around molds. Serve with coleslaw dressing.
