Ingredients

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).

Holiday Green Gelatin Salad image

This salad has been a family favorite for over four generations, requested every Thanksgiving and Christmas. It is smooth and creamy with the crunch of pecans, and light green in color. It has a very unique flavor, and goes very quickly at our home. Any left over crushed pineapple and cottage cheese make a great snack for kids.

GREEN STUFF (LIME JELLO, CREAM CHEESE, PINEAPPLE, COOL WHIP)

Green Stuff (Lime Jello, Cream Cheese, Pineapple, Cool Whip) image

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.

For a sweeter Jell-O, add more sugar. You can also use a sugar-free Jell-O mix if you prefer.
If you don't have cottage cheese, you can substitute ricotta cheese or cream cheese.
Garnish the Jell-O with fresh mint or pineapple slices before serving.
This recipe can be made ahead of time. Simply prepare the Jell-O and cottage cheese mixture according to the recipe, then pour it into a mold and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
