Ingredients:

1/2 c. dry Vermouth
1 env. unflavored gelatin
1 c. smoked salmon, flaked
3 hard-cooked eggs, mashed
3/4 c. sour cream
1/2 c. sliced green onions
1/4 c. fresh parsley, chopped fine
3 tbsp. mayonnaise
1 tsp. prepared horseradish
1 tbsp. lemon juice
1 tsp. finely chopped onion

Directions:

Cucumber Vinaigrette:

1 med. unpared cucumber, very thinly sliced (about 2 c.)
1 med. green pepper, cut into thin strips (about 1 c.)

In medium bowl, combine cucumber slices with green pepper strips. In measuring cup, combine rest of ingredients, mixing well. Pour over cucumber mixture, tossing to coat well. Refrigerate, covered, until well chilled--about 1 hour--tossing occasionally. To serve: Drain dressing from vegetables. Arrange vegetables attractively on large platter. To unmold mousse: Run a spatula around edge of mold; invert onto vegetables. Serve at once, with crackers as appetizer or as salad on bed of lettuce.
