Best Grandma Maxs Layered Jello 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).

LAYERED RAINBOW JELL-O SALAD

Steps:

• Decide on your color pattern (the order for the colors of Jell-O you've selected), and begin by working with the color that will go on the bottom.
• Boil 1 cup of water in the microwave.
• Add 1 packet of Jell-O to the boiling water and stir until completely dissolved.
• Pour 1/2 cup of this liquid into a 9x13 pan to create a "clear" layer, tilting pan for even coverage if necessary (see note).
• Refrigerate until set (see note).
• While the first layer sets, add 1/2 cup Greek yogurt and 2 tablespoons cold water to the remaining liquid Jell-O for the "cloudy" layer.
• Pour the liquid for your "cloudy" layer on top of the completely set clear layer.
• Refrigerate again until set.
• Repeat this process with each color of Jell-O to create alternating "clear" and "cloudy" layers in each color you've chosen.
• Refrigerate until serving.

GRANDMA MAX'S LAYERED JELLO SALAD

Steps:

• Prepare the cherry jello powder according to the directions on the package in a glass mixing bowl. Put it in the fridge and let it set.
• Once set, prepare the dream whip according to the package and cut the cream cheese into small chunks, (if you're not a fan of chunks, you could whip it all together). Mix the cream cheese into the dream whip and layer it on top of the cherry jello. Let it set in the fridge.
• *You could save yourself time if you do step 1 and step 2 together and let both set in the fridge at the same time.*.
• Drain the crushed pineapple and rinse with cold water approximately 3-4 times to remove most of the acidic juice. Make sure to squeeze out the excess water with your hands.
• Make the lemon jello powder according to directions and let it partially set.
• Mix the pineapple into the lemon jello and layer over top of the dream whip mixture.
• Let set in the fridge and serve. (For the best results, put saran wrap over the salad and let it set overnight).
• Note: The dream whip should be one of the small envelopes.
