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.

Ingredients

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).

This is a festive and flavorful salad that is perfect for the holidays and easy to assemble. Serve with your favorite dressing(s) on the side so that it can be made ahead of time without wilting. Lemon-thyme vinaigrette goes really well with this.

LIME HOLIDAY WREATH SALAD

Lime Holiday Wreath Salad image

Quick and easy to make.This make ahead salad graced my grandmas dining table every time we ate at her house. That was about twice a month and holidays. Sometimes we went to my Aunt's house- where we had fried chicken and mashed potatoes every time. When they came to our house we had meatloaf or spaghetti.
