Steps:
- In a large multi-cup measuring cup (I use my 4 cup Pyrex), add all of the reserved pineapple juice and then add enough water to the juice to make a total of 2 cups. Pour into pot and bring just to a boil.
- Add the lime Jell-o mixes to the boiling pineapple juice/water and stir until dissolved. Remove from heat, allow to cool just slightly.
- In a mixing bowl, stir together the mayo and evaporated milk. Combine until very smooth. Slowly stir in the Jell-o mixture until all is incorporated with the mayo/milk mixture. Stir in the crushed pineapple, cottage cheese, and walnuts.
- Pour mixture into an 8×8″ glass casserole pan. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight (preferred).

GREEN JELLO SALAD THINGY
One of perhaps three worthwhile recipes I took from a high school Home Ec class many years ago. I've played with it over the years, and this seems to be a good balance of flavors and textures.

GREEN JELLO SALAD
This is a refreshing jello salad that is a staple of our family get togethers. This is a recipe from my Grandmother. We now joke about making this jello months in advance (don't do it!!), because my Grandmother brought it for a family dinner and said she had made it weeks before - we could not eat it, but did not have the heart to tell her. It was the beginning signs of Alzheimer's :( for her. I hope she is not spinning in her grave since I am sharing this recipe. We miss her and think of her when we have this jello for Thanksgiving and Christmas.

- Add the nuts to cheese/milk mixture.

Tips:
- Use fresh fruits and vegetables. Fresh produce will give your salad the best flavor and texture. If you can't find fresh produce, frozen or canned fruits and vegetables can also be used.
- Don't overcook the vegetables. Overcooked vegetables will be mushy and lose their flavor. Cook vegetables just until they are tender-crisp.
- Use a variety of colors and textures. This will make your salad more visually appealing and interesting to eat. Some good options include:
- Brightly colored fruits and vegetables, such as oranges, strawberries, and broccoli
- Different types of greens, such as romaine lettuce, spinach, and kale
- Crunchy vegetables, such as carrots, celery, and bell peppers
- Nuts and seeds, such as almonds, walnuts, and sunflower seeds
- Don't be afraid to experiment. There are endless possibilities when it comes to making green jello salad. Try different combinations of fruits, vegetables, and dressings to find your favorite recipe.
