HOLIDAY GREEN GELATIN SALAD



Holiday Green Gelatin Salad image

This salad has been a family favorite for over four generations, requested every Thanksgiving and Christmas. It is smooth and creamy with the crunch of pecans, and light green in color. It has a very unique flavor, and goes very quickly at our home. Any left over crushed pineapple and cottage cheese make a great snack for kids.

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 small package orange flavored gelatin*
1 small package lemon flavored gelatin*
2 1/2 cups boiling water

  • *Don't substitute with low-sugar or sugar-free. Neither will set properly.
