LIME JELLO SALAD - AKA 'THE GREEN STUFF'



Lime Jello Salad - Aka 'the Green Stuff' image

My step-mom first served this salad and it has become a family tradition since. I always make it for holiday dinners and one year I decided to try new things as I was a little tired and bored with the regulars. I didn't make this one year, and my grown son told me that I should not mess with tradition - this salad WAS the holidays. My kids all call this 'the green stuff'. ZWT West (Hawaiian pineapple).

We always make this for Thanksgiving and Christmas...it is a must have holiday menu item. You can substitute a container of Cool Whip for the freshly whipped cream. You could try other Jell-o flavors, but we are traditionalists and stick with lime. Some family members enjoy the addition of chopped pecans but I prefer without.
