Time 10m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (3 ounce) package lime gelatin
3 cups crushed pineapple
1/2 cup celery, finely chopped
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
1 cup boiling water
1 cup small curd cottage cheese
1 tablespoon pimiento, chopped
3 ounces cream cheese
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
1 teaspoon lemon juice
cherries (to garnish)
walnuts (to garnish)

Steps:

  • Dissolve gelatin in boiling water, let cool until syrupy.
  • Stir in remaining ingredients.
  • Mold in approximately 8" pan, rinsed in cold water.
  • (I'm guessing that she used a small box of jello here and also I think she might have drained the pineapple.) Frosting: When salad is firm, unold or leave in pan.
  • Beat together cream cheese, mayonnaise and lemon juice; frost salad.
  • Garnish with cherries and walnuts as desired.
