Feel free to use arugula in place of watercress, or shrimp instead of chicken in this bright Chicken Salad. The pineapple-lime dressing is also great spooned over grilled fish or chicken, or simply stirred into rice.

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 lg. box lime jello
1 lg. pkg. cream cheese
1 20 oz. can crushed pineapple
1 12 oz. pkg. cool whip

Steps:

  • 1. Measure pineapple juice and enough liquid to make 1 1/2 cups, bring to boil & dissolve jello into it. Cool til syrupy & fold into cheese & pineapple which has been mixed together. Fold in cool whip. Chill. Garnish with nuts & maraschino cherries ( dates may be added).

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh, ripe pineapple and limes.
  • If you don't have fresh limes, you can use bottled lime juice, but be sure to use 100% lime juice, not a lime-flavored drink.
  • If you want a sweeter salad, you can add more honey or sugar to taste.
  • For a spicier salad, you can add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a chopped jalapeƱo pepper.
  • This salad is best served chilled, so be sure to refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Conclusion:

This lime-pineapple salad is a refreshing and flavorful side dish or snack. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its sweet and tangy flavor, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
