Personal Notes:
I have made this for parties in the past, using a ring mold and garnishing with cherry tomato halves on a bed of curly lettuce to resemble a Christmas wreath. Also gorgeous using a scallop shell mold (Wilton has a pretty one) with the shrimp variation. Serve on lettuce bed with slices of lemon for an impressive presentation. Green grape halves can be added if using the chicken meat variation. Pineapple tidbits go great with ham. Craisins with turkey. The possibilities are endless! Get creative and experiment!
