Ingredients

  • 1 package lemon gelatin (3 oz.)
  • 2 package lime gelatin (3 oz.)
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 cup coffee cream
  • 1 can crushed pineapple, drained (8 oz. size)

  • Advertisement

  • 1 1/2 cup boiling water
  • 1 tsp. lemon flavoring

Directions

Dissolve the lemon and 1 package of lime gelatin in the 1 cup boiling water. While still warm, add the salt and mayonnaise. You'll need to use an egg beater for blending completely. When mixture is cool, and beginning to congeal, add the cream, crushed pineapple, cottage cheese, nuts, celery and cucumber. When completely firm, dissolve the remaining box of lime gelatin in 1 1/2 cup boiling water, add the lemon flavoring, and pour it over the top of the salad. Diced apple may be used as a substitute for the cucumber, if desired. This makes a large salad that will serve about 15 people.
