Frosted Lime Walnut Salad

Charlotte J's Note:

This recipe is from Mrs. Norman Wemer, from the cookbook "Heritage of Cooking" A Collection of Recipes from East Perry County, Missouri. To find out more about this cookbook read the description from the first recipe I posted from it #38,782.

• Total Time: 10 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 0 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 6

• 1 (3 ounce) package lime gelatin
• 3 cups crushed pineapple
• 1/2 cup celery, finely chopped
• 1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
• 1 cup boiling water
• 1 cup small curd cottage cheese
• 1 tablespoon pimiento, chopped

Frosting

• 3 ounces cream cheese
• 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• cherry (to garnish)
• walnuts (to garnish)

Directions:

1. Dissolve gelatin in boiling water, let cool until syrupy.
2. Stir in remaining ingredients.
3. Mold in approximately 8" pan, rinsed in cold water.
4. (I'm guessing that she used a small box of jello here and also I think she might have drained the pineapple.) Frosting: When salad is firm, unold or leave in pan.
5. Beat together cream cheese, mayonnaise and lemon juice; frost salad.
6. Garnish with cherries and walnuts as desired.
