Steps:
- Drain the pineapple, reserving the juice. Set the pineapple aside for now. To the reserved pineapple juice, add the lemon juice and enough cold water to equal one cup.
- Dissolve the jello with boiling water. Stir the pineapple juice mixture into the dissolved jello. Pour the jello into a mold or a small square baking dish.
- Place it in the refrigerator and chill until it begins to thicken (about 45 minutes to 1 hour).
- Add the reserved pineapple, shredded carrots, pecans and salt. Stir very well to combine the ingredients. Pour into a mold and chill until set (4 hours or overnight). To serve, cut into squares and top with a small dollop of mayonnaise (if desired).
