Lime Jello and Pineapple Salad

"A good old standby and another way to get kids to eat some vegetables. Besides, it always looks good on the table especially when the center is filled with green seedless grapes."

  1. Can the Lime Jello and Pineapple Salad Recipe be made without dairy? I need the ingredients to serve 10-12.

  1. Yummy and a great way to get some nutrition! I made some healthy tweaks to this by using fat-free sugar-free lime jello, and non-fat sour cream. I also left out the nuts. Subbing cucumbers for the celery works well too! Thanks!! [Photo uploaded with comment]
     
  2. This is so easy, non bake. I didn't even add the shredded carrots or celery, but added maraschino cherries. chopped pecans would be good, but grands didn't like them, so I left out. I used crushed pineapple (not drained). I didn't have the correct size jello mold, so used stainless bowl and covered. Very good! And eazy peazy! Oh, and I actually used Lemon jello, because that's what I had on hand. Either would be good. But the basics of Jello, sour cream and crushed pineapples (& cherries) made it!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Originally from New Orleans; are we food obsessed or what?? Sent to boarding school at a very young age where our major gripe was the food, of course. I swore never to eat stuff I did not like ever again. Life is too short for that nonsense. Its easier to list dislikes than likes/loves, so: Curry (every poverty stricken third world country reeks of curry, yuk!) Eggplant anything (I don't care how fancy you disguise aubergine, its still slimy eggplant). Pumpkin anything (I hear its good food for pigs...give 'em my share). Brussel sprouts (who in hell decided these were fit for human consumption?)
