1 cup crushed pineapple (drained with juice reserved)

  • 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.

LIME GELATIN SALAD I



Lime Gelatin Salad I image

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.

LIME COTTAGE SALAD



Lime Cottage Salad image

This is a refreshing summer salad that goes with just about anything. This does not have as many ingredients as some do, but it is sooo good, and very easy to make as I usually have all three of the ingredients on hand most of the time. It is a pretty green and I just love it. We all do. I make it all year long. If you make it with the sugar-free jello and low-fat cottage cheese, it is a great Weight Watcher dish. I have used both kinds, and they both taste the same. It has only 1-2 points per serving.

Tips:

  • Use fresh limes. Fresh limes will give your salad a brighter, more citrusy flavor than bottled lime juice.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables. The vegetables should be crisp-tender, not mushy.
  • Chill the salad before serving. This will help the flavors to meld and will make the salad more refreshing.
  • Serve the salad with your favorite dressing. A simple vinaigrette or ranch dressing is a good option.
  • Garnish the salad with fresh herbs or flowers. This will add a pop of color and flavor.

Conclusion:

Lime Jell-O Cottage Salad is a classic summer salad that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. The combination of sweet and tangy flavors is irresistible, and the creamy cottage cheese adds a delicious richness. This salad is perfect for potlucks, picnics, or any other summer gathering. So next time you're looking for a refreshing and delicious salad, give Lime Jell-O Cottage Salad a try!
