My gelatin ring gets a tropical twist from coconut, pineapple and macadamia nuts. It's a wonderful anytime treat. Now that I'm retired from teaching, I have more time for kitchen experiments. -Carol Gillespie, Chambersburg, Pennsylvania

I followed the recipe exactly, but my salad turned out too liquidy. I'm not sure what went wrong. Maybe I didn't let the gelatin set long enough?

This salad was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think it would be great for people who like sweeter dishes. The texture was also a bit too firm for my liking, but I think that might have been because I didn't let it chill long enough.
