Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2/3 Cup finely diced celery
2/3 Cup finely diced peeled and seeded cucumber
1/2 Cup finely chopped spring onion
2 cans boneless salmon -- (6.75 oz)
1/4 C sliced ripe olives (optional)
3/4 C mayonnaise
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp white pepper
2 TBSP gelatin (1 packet) -- dissolved in 1/4 C cold water
1/4 C boiling water

Combine ingredients, except for gelatin and water. Set aside.
Dissolve gelatin in 1/4 C cold water. Stir while adding hot water. Stir this
mixture into the fish salad; it will be soupy. Pour into a bowl or mold
which has been prepared with pan release spray and refrigerate at least 4
hours until thoroughly set.
To serve: unmold onto a platter. Cut into wedges..

Notes: This isn't really a mousse at all, it's a molded gelatin salad. My
mother-in-law called it a mousse.

The first time my mother-in-law served us this, she had added a few drops of
pink food coloring to it. My youngest daughter, who was about four at the
time, dove in unsuspecting, thinking it was a sweet of some sort. She had
the most ludicrous look of horror on her face when it came up fish. Since
then, I have omitted the pink food coloring.
