Old Fashioned Tomato Aspic holds so many special memories. My grandmother made tomato aspic for many occasions and many have a love hate relationship with this classic dish. You either love it or you hate it. Personally Leigh and I love it but our Mom was never a fan! The combination of tomato mixed with onion, spices all in a gelation mold and then served with mayonnaise is just such a unique idea. My grandmother always served it on cute little dishes and it was a treat.
Old Fashioned Tomato Aspic Ingredients Needed:
Gelatin
Vegetable or Tomato Juice
Onion
Celery
Lemon Juice
Worcestershire Sauce
Pepper
Water
Mayonnaise
Bibb Lettuce for display
You can use tomato juice or vegetable juice like V8. We used tomato juice and it was like taking a walk back in time. I haven’t had this dish since I was a kid and it was such a wonderful reminder of all the times my grandmother made it. She loved to serve this at her luncheons and it’s just a beautiful dish! It’s wonderful with shrimp salad or ham salad and really completes a summer meal.
