Method of preparation of Cold-Moulded Salad:

1. Add salt to the water and boil it.
2. Put each vegetable item one by one in hot water and take it out. 1.5 minutes are required for cabbage, and a little more time is required for the rest of the vegetables. Vegetables should never lose their freshness.
3. Later, remove water content from vegetables using a cotton cloth.
4. Add a little lemon juice to the apple pieces and keep aside.
5. Mix gelatin in a little water and heat it so that the contents dissolve. Allow it to cool.
6. Mix all ingredients listed under 5 in a bowl, and add gelatin to it. Mix the contents well.
7. Add vegetables, coriander and apple pieces, and transfer the contents to a mould.
8. Place the contents in the refrigerator to cool.
9. Just before serving, immerse the mould in hot water and flip it once into a serving bowl.
