GRANDMA'S LIME GREEN JELLO SALAD RECIPE (WITH COTTAGE CHEESE & PINEAPPLE)



Grandma's Lime Green Jello Salad Recipe (with Cottage Cheese & Pineapple) image

Grandma's Lime Green Jello Salad Recipe (with Cottage Cheese & Pineapple) is a retro lime jello salad that my husband's grandma made for many holiday meals. To continue with the tradition, I make this every Thanksgiving.

Provided by Brandie Valenzuela

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).

Tips:

  • For a smoother texture, blend the cottage cheese until it is light and fluffy before adding it to the salad.
  • Use fresh pineapple for the best flavor. If you are using canned pineapple, be sure to drain it well before adding it to the salad.
  • Be sure to use a good quality lime jello. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the salad.
  • Feel free to add other ingredients to the salad, such as chopped celery, grapes, or nuts.
  • If you are making the salad ahead of time, be sure to cover it and refrigerate it. The salad will keep for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Trish's Lime Jello Cottage Cheese and Pineapple Salad is a classic recipe that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make, delicious, and refreshing.
