LIME GELATIN SALAD I
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.

AMISH DRY LIME GELATIN SALAD / DESSERT (JELLO)
Found on www.AmishDining.com. A recipe seldom gets any easier than this one. Kids could make this with just a bit of supervision. My mother used to make something like this that had these same ingredients. This is much like her's, and since she was not a dessert maker, I am sure she would have opted for a simple recipe. Other flavors of gelatin work too, like Cherry and Strawberry which are perfect for Valentine's Day. NOTE: Times do not include the 2-3 hours for chilling time. Servings are approximate.

Steps:
- Combine jello and hot water; stir until jello is dissolved.

Tips:
- Use fresh limes: Fresh limes provide the best flavor for this salad. If you can't find fresh limes, you can use bottled lime juice, but the flavor will be slightly less bright.
- Dissolve the gelatin completely: Make sure the gelatin is completely dissolved before adding it to the other ingredients. Otherwise, you may end up with lumps of gelatin in your salad.
- Chill the salad before serving: Chilling the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving allows the flavors to meld and the gelatin to set.
- Garnish with fresh mint: Fresh mint adds a refreshing flavor and a pop of color to the salad.
