Categories     Salad

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup crushed pineapple (drained with juice reserved)
1 cup water (more or less depending on what's needed, see instructions below)
2 packages lime jello (3 oz each)
1 cup mayo
1 cup evaporated milk (canned)
1 cup small curd cottage cheese
1/2 cup walnuts (chopped)

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).

My mother used to make this all the time when I was growing up. One of my favorites and very easy to make. I don't know where she got it, but thought I'd share

Categories     Gelatin Salads

Time 3h10m

Number Of Ingredients 3

box 1 box lime jello (6oz)
can(s) crushed pineapple (8oz)
scoop(s) 2-3 cottage cheese

Steps:

  • 1. Prepare jello according to directions, refrigerate until just beginning to jell
  • 2. Stir in crushed pineapple and cottage cheese until well blended. Refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving.

Tips:

  • Use fresh limes for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh limes, you can use bottled lime juice, but the flavor will not be as good.
  • Chill the jello salad for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the salad to set properly.
  • Serve the jello salad with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. This will add a touch of sweetness and creaminess to the salad.
  • You can add other fruits to the jello salad, such as strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries. This will add a pop of color and flavor to the salad.
  • If you want a more tart jello salad, you can add more lime juice. If you want a sweeter jello salad, you can add more sugar.

Conclusion:

Lime jello salad is a refreshing and delicious dessert that is perfect for summer gatherings. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its bright green color and tangy flavor, lime jello salad is sure to be a hit at your next party or potluck.
