GRANDMA'S LIME GREEN JELLO SALAD RECIPE (WITH COTTAGE CHEESE & PINEAPPLE)



Grandma's Lime Green Jello Salad Recipe (with Cottage Cheese & Pineapple) image

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.

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).

LIME COTTAGE CHEESE SALAD A/K/A "GREEN GUNK"



Lime Cottage Cheese Salad A/K/A

This is a holiday tradition for my husband's family. I'm told the recipe comes from his great-aunt. While I was quite skeptical after hearing the list of ingredients, they blend wonderfully for a delicious "salad". I have affectionately named it "Green Gunk" because that's what it looks like! My hubby's family fights over the leftovers. Prep time doesn't include chilling time, so plan ahead...I've been instructed by my hubby's family that this is best made the night before serving.

Time 20m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple, WELL DRAINED & juice reserved
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1 (16 ounce) container small curd cottage cheese
1 cup miniature marshmallow
1/2-1 cup water
2 (3 ounce) packages lime Jell-O gelatin
1 pint heavy whipping cream

Steps:

  • Drain the pineapple very well (if there is any liquid left in the pineapple, the salad won't set up correctly); save the pineapple juice.
  • Add enough water to the reserved pineapple juice to make 2 cups of liquid; place in a saucepan and bring to a boil.
  • Place jello in a large mixing bowl and pour boiling pineapple juice over jello. Stir until fully dissolved.
  • Place bowl in an ice bath for several minutes, then refrigerate until jello reaches honey consistency (DO NOT let it set up firm).
  • While waiting on jello to reach proper consistency, whip whipping cream until peaks form.
  • Also, while waiting on jello, in another bowl, combine cottage cheese, marshmallows, pecans, and pineapple and mix well.
  • When jello reaches proper consistency, remove from refrigerator and whip until light and fluffy and about doubled in size.
  • Fold cottage cheese mixture into jello.
  • Fold whipped cream into jello mixture.
  • Refrigerate for at least one hour, preferably overnight.
  • Refrigerate leftovers (there won't be any!).

LIME COTTAGE SALAD



Lime Cottage Salad image

This is a refreshing summer salad that goes with just about anything. This does not have as many ingredients as some do, but it is sooo good, and very easy to make as I usually have all three of the ingredients on hand most of the time. It is a pretty green and I just love it. We all do. I make it all year long. If you make it with the sugar-free jello and low-fat cottage cheese, it is a great Weight Watcher dish. I have used both kinds, and they both taste the same. It has only 1-2 points per serving.
