GRANDMA'S LIME GREEN JELLO SALAD RECIPE (WITH COTTAGE CHEESE & PINEAPPLE)
Grandma's Lime Green Jello Salad Recipe (with Cottage Cheese & Pineapple) is a retro lime jello salad that my husband's grandma made for many holiday meals. To continue with the tradition, I make this every Thanksgiving.

Steps:
- In a large multi-cup measuring cup (I use my 4 cup Pyrex), add all of the reserved pineapple juice and then add enough water to the juice to make a total of 2 cups. Pour into pot and bring just to a boil.
- Add the lime Jell-o mixes to the boiling pineapple juice/water and stir until dissolved. Remove from heat, allow to cool just slightly.
- In a mixing bowl, stir together the mayo and evaporated milk. Combine until very smooth. Slowly stir in the Jell-o mixture until all is incorporated with the mayo/milk mixture. Stir in the crushed pineapple, cottage cheese, and walnuts.
- Pour mixture into an 8×8″ glass casserole pan. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight (preferred).
COTTAGE CHEESE JELLO SALAD
Wow, talk about an easy salad to make this is it! Now, my Grammie didn't have a name on this recipe so I just gave it a name. I remember eating this jello when I was a kid. I love that it has cottage cheese in it and it is light, creamy and just the right amount of sweet. It would be great to be served at Easter time or any...

LIME COTTAGE SALAD
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 COTTAGE CHEESE SALAD A/K/A "GREEN GUNK"
This is a holiday tradition for my husband's family. I'm told the recipe comes from his great-aunt. While I was quite skeptical after hearing the list of ingredients, they blend wonderfully for a delicious "salad". I have affectionately named it "Green Gunk" because that's what it looks like! My hubby's family fights over the leftovers. Prep time doesn't include chilling time, so plan ahead...I've been instructed by my hubby's family that this is best made the night before serving.

LIME CHEESE SALAD
From the files of Winona Holt. I think this one dates back to the 50's, but it is still good today. No luncheon at the church was complete unless there were at least 10 different jello dishes. Prep time is an estimate and is the refrigeration time.
