LIME JELLO SALAD - AKA 'THE GREEN STUFF'



Lime Jello Salad - Aka 'the Green Stuff' image

My step-mom first served this salad and it has become a family tradition since. I always make it for holiday dinners and one year I decided to try new things as I was a little tired and bored with the regulars. I didn't make this one year, and my grown son told me that I should not mess with tradition - this salad WAS the holidays. My kids all call this 'the green stuff'. ZWT West (Hawaiian pineapple).

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).

GREEN STUFF (LIME JELLO, CREAM CHEESE, PINEAPPLE, COOL WHIP)



Green Stuff (Lime Jello, Cream Cheese, Pineapple, Cool Whip) image

This recipe has been in our family forever. It can be made in many different variations. Cottage cheese instead of or in addition to cream cheese. Crushed pears or mandarin oranges in place of pineapple. The amount of ingredients seem to not matter much because I often forget how much jello or cream cheese, etc to use but it always tastes great. The only word of caution is NEVER use fresh pineapple in jello because it will not gel.

HOLIDAY FRUIT SALAD (AKA GREEN STUFF)



Holiday Fruit Salad (Aka Green Stuff) image

We always make this for Thanksgiving and Christmas...it is a must have holiday menu item. You can substitute a container of Cool Whip for the freshly whipped cream. You could try other Jell-o flavors, but we are traditionalists and stick with lime. Some family members enjoy the addition of chopped pecans but I prefer without.
