LIME GELATIN SALAD I
This is a great recipe my mom got from my aunt. She has made it every year for Thanksgiving. It is a family tradition for us. It can be made a day or two ahead of time, if you like. It looks just beautiful in a cut crystal bowl. Thanksgiving is not the same without it for us! We just 'gobble' it up! Chopped walnuts can be substituted for chopped pecans.

VEGETABLE GELATIN SALAD
A great dish for picnics or pot-lucks--especially in the summer when fresh garden vegetables are so abundant. No dairy products, so there's no risk of spoiling after being out on a buffet table for a long time. Just lots of healthy fresh vegetables and the universal appeal of gelatin, for kids and adults alike. I prefer using lemon Jell-O, but I have used lime a lot as well (which is what I used the last time I made this, and remembered to snap a photo). But I've also seen versions of this salad at various pot-luck gatherings that used clear, unflavored gelatin as well. Lots of choices!

Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe fruit: This will ensure that your salad is packed with flavor and nutrients.
- Don't overcook the gelatin: Otherwise, it will become tough and rubbery. Once the gelatin has dissolved, remove it from the heat immediately.
- Let the salad chill for at least 4 hours, or overnight: This will allow the gelatin to set properly and the flavors to meld together.
- Serve the salad cold: This will help to keep the gelatin firm and prevent it from melting.
- Garnish the salad with fresh fruit, whipped cream, or chopped nuts: This will add extra flavor and visual appeal.
