LIME GELATIN SALAD I



Lime Gelatin Salad I image

This is a great recipe my mom got from my aunt. She has made it every year for Thanksgiving. It is a family tradition for us. It can be made a day or two ahead of time, if you like. It looks just beautiful in a cut crystal bowl. Thanksgiving is not the same without it for us! We just 'gobble' it up! Chopped walnuts can be substituted for chopped pecans.

1 (6 ounce) package lime flavored Jell-O® mix
1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained with juice reserved
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened

  • In a large bowl, blend softened cream cheese and lime gelatin until smooth. Mix in the cooled pineapple. In a medium bowl, whip cream until soft peaks form. Fold into gelatin mixture. Fold in chopped nuts. Pour into a pretty crystal bowl, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh limes. Bottled or jarred lime juice will not produce the same results.
  • If you don't have a lime zester, you can use a fine grater to remove the zest.
  • Be careful not to overdress the salad. A little bit of dressing goes a long way.
  • Serve the salad immediately after it is made. The dressing will wilt the lettuce if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

This cool lime salad is a refreshing and flavorful side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its bright and tangy flavor, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
