Lime-Vegetable Mold

Directions:

Combine all ingredients except the 1 cup of water and agar-agar in a blender. Blend until fairly smooth. In a separate 2-quart microwave bowl, pour in 1 cup of water and sprinkle in the agar-agar. Microwave until all the agar-agar is dissolved (about 5 minutes on high power.) Quickly whisk blender ingredients into the hot liquid until fully combined. Pour into molding container and chill until firm. (Serves 8)
