"If you choose not to use the food coloring, the salad will be pale pink."

 

• Ready In: 24hrs
• Ingredients: 11
• Serves: 10

ingredients

• 709.77 ml tomato juice
• 709.77 ml Hellmann's mayonnaise, plus more for garnishing
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 177.44 ml crushed pineapple
• 59.14 ml cream cheese
• 59.14 ml cottage cheese
• 14.79 ml Worcestershire sauce
• 0.13 ml Tabasco sauce (to taste)
• salt and white pepper
• red food coloring, if desired
• boston lettuce leaves or bibb lettuce

directions

1. Combine 2 cups of the tomato juice, 1 cup of the mayonnaise, the onion, pineapple, cream cheese, cottage cheese, Worcestershire sauce and Tabasco in a blender. Blend until smooth and pour into a bowl. Combine the remaining tomato juice and mayonnaise in the blender and blend until smooth. Add enough food coloring so that it is the color of a very ripe tomato -- otherwise, it will be pale pink. Add it to the mixture in the bowl and whisk until combined. Season with salt and pepper and more Tabasco if needed.
2. Pour into a 2-inch-deep baking dish (use a sieve if you want a smoother texture) and freeze.
3. Arrange lettuce on 10 salad plates and place 1 or 2 scoops of frozen tomato on top. Add a dollop of mayonnaise if desired.
