Steps:
- 1. Completely dissolve Jell-O in boiling water; add pineapple w/juice, blueberry pie filling, and pecans...mix thoroughly, chill until thick, but not set (30-40 minutes).
- 2. Fold in whipped topping just until color is all the same (no white streaks), then place into either a *trifle bowl, food-safe decorative bowl, or **13x9-inch glass dish. Cover with plastic wrap, place back into refrigerator for 3-4 (or more) hours. If you wish to add garnish, spread extra whipped topping on Purple Lady salad just before serving, and add fresh berries on top.
- 3. If there are leftovers (which rarely happens at our parties), keep covered/refrigerated. You would most likely need to finish eating it in the next day or so. * We do "buffet-style" a lot, so this salad usually gets placed in a trifle or other decorative-type glass bowl. ** If using a 13x9-inch glass dish, you may want to cut salad into single serving square portions, then place each portion on top large piece of lettuce (I like red-leaf) and set it on a salad plate as a side item for each member at the dinner table.
