Tomato Crab (Tuna) Mold

With olives and onion juice, because of course.

Here’s a take from the July 24, 1957 edition of the Winnipeg (Manitoba) Free Press:

Tomato Tuna Mold

1 tin tomato soup
6 ounces cream cheese
2 Tablespoons gelatin
1/2 cup cold water
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 cup mayonnaise
1 cup diced celery
1/4 cup diced green pepper
1/4 cup chopped green onions
2 (7 oz.) tins flaked tuna

Heat soup in double boiler. Add cream cheese and beat until smooth. Soften the gelatin in cold water and lemon juice for 5 minutes. Add to soup mixture. Add remaining ingredients. Mold and chill until set. Yield: 12 servings. Serve on crisp greens with cucumber slices and lemon wedges.
