Perfect salad

Sprinkle unflavored gelatin over cold water in a small bowl and let stand for 2 minutes to bloom, then add hot water and stir until the gelatin dissolves completely.

Stir in the sugar replacement, salt, and lemon juice until well combined.

Peel and finely dice the cucumbers and carrots into small, uniform pieces.

Finely mince the onions and combine with the diced cucumbers and carrots in a bowl.

Beat the cream cheese and lo-calorie mayonnaise together until smooth and creamy, using an electric mixer or hand mixer.

Allow the gelatin mixture to cool to room temperature (approximately 5 minutes), then gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.

Fold the prepared vegetables into the gelatin-cream cheese mixture until evenly distributed.

Pour the mixture into a 4-cup mold or individual serving dishes and refrigerate until firm, approximately 4 hours or overnight.
