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.

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.

LIME JELLO SALAD

Provided by Katie Clark

Categories     Easy Side Dishes

Time 4h5m

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 ounces vanilla pudding mix
5 ounces lime jello
4 cups of water
1/2 of a 20 ounce can crushed pineapple, drained
1/2 cup coconut flakes
1 8 ounce container Cool Whip

Steps:

  • Bring 4 cups of water to a boil.
  • Remove from heat and quickly mix in the jello and pudding mix.
  • Pour into a glass dish and add pineapple evenly throughout. I have used various sizes of glass dishes, they all work.
  • Cover and place in the fridge for at least four hours.
  • Remove from fridge and move the jello to a large bowl - mash around until it's broken up.
  • Mix in Cool Whip and coconut flakes.
  • Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh lime juice. Fresh lime juice has a brighter, more flavorful taste than bottled lime juice. If you don't have fresh limes on hand, you can use bottled lime juice, but be sure to use 100% lime juice, not a lime-flavored drink.
  • Chill the cottage cheese before making the salad. This will help the salad stay cold and refreshing, especially if you're serving it on a hot day.
  • Use a variety of fruits and vegetables in your salad. This will add color, flavor, and texture to the dish. Some good options include strawberries, blueberries, pineapple, celery, and cucumbers.
  • Add some nuts or seeds for crunch. Chopped walnuts, pecans, or sunflower seeds are all great additions to lime jello cottage cheese salad.
  • Serve the salad immediately. Lime jello cottage cheese salad is best enjoyed fresh, so it's best to serve it as soon as it's made.

Conclusion:

Lime jello cottage cheese salad is a classic summer dish that is sure to please everyone at your next gathering. It's easy to make, refreshing, and packed with flavor. So next time you're looking for a light and delicious salad, give this one a try!
