Best Moms Out Of This World Salad Aka Green Stuff Recipes
GREEN STUFF (LIME JELLO, CREAM CHEESE, PINEAPPLE, COOL WHIP)
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.

LIME JELLO SALAD - AKA 'THE GREEN STUFF'
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).

HOLIDAY FRUIT SALAD (AKA GREEN STUFF)
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.

WOOD FAMILY'S SEAFOAM SALAD AKA "GREEN STUFF"
A very yummy side dish that the whole family will enjoy. This has become a staple at our family's Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter dinners. It's a good thing that it makes a lot! My daughter always asks, "Are we having Green Stuff?" I received this recipe from my mother-in-law when I married into the family. She is a wonderful cook! My recipe calls for ingredients that are a little more healthy, as I follow Weight Watchers so feel free to substitute the "real" things. ENJOY!
