Pineapple-Lime Molded Salad image

This is a holiday favorite in the Johnston household. My husband grew up having this for Thanksgiving and Christmas. I usually do it for Easter. As for most of my recipes, this one comes from my late mother-in-law's recipe box.

Number Of Ingredients 4

Ingredients

1 lg. box lime jello
1 lg. pkg. cream cheese
1 20 oz. can crushed pineapple
1 12 oz. pkg. cool whip

Steps:

1. Measure pineapple juice and enough liquid to make 1 1/2 cups, bring to boil & dissolve jello into it. Cool til syrupy & fold into cheese & pineapple which has been mixed together. Fold in cool whip. Chill. Garnish with nuts & maraschino cherries ( dates may be added).
2. Note: though nowhere does it state, I make this in a 9x13 glass pan.

Tips:

Select ripe pineapple: Use fresh, ripe pineapple for the best flavor and texture. Look for pineapples that are heavy for their size and have a slightly sweet smell.
Use fresh lime juice: Fresh lime juice adds a bright, tangy flavor to the salad. If you don't have fresh limes, you can use bottled lime juice, but the flavor will not be as good.
Chill the salad before serving: This will help the flavors to meld and the salad will be more refreshing.
Serve with a variety of toppings: Pineapple lime molded salad can be served with a variety of toppings, such as fresh fruit, whipped cream, or nuts. Get creative and experiment with different toppings to find your favorite combination.
