Lime Grapefruit Pineapple Salad Recipes

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

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).

LIME PINEAPPLE SALAD

Steps:

• Dissolve packages of lime gelatin mix in 2 cups boiling water, remove from heat and stir well. Add 2 cups cold water and stir.
• Place gelatin mixture in a medium size bowl and allow to get cold in refrigerator. When gelatin mixture is slightly beginning to set around edges of bowl (test frequently -- you do not want it to completely set) remove from refrigerator.
• (To insure cream cheese is soft enough I microwave it for 20 seconds.) With an electric mixer beat softened cream cheese in a separate bowl and add small amounts by tablespoons into gelatin while beating. Add mayonaise.
• By hand, stir in drained pineapple, marshmallows and pecans. Pour into a 2 or 3 quart pyrex dish or plastic container and place in refrigerator. Let mixture get completely cold for at least 4-5 hours before serving.
• May be dipped out of container or served cut in squares topping a lettuce leaf.
• Enjoy!
