Lime Jello Salad - Aka 'the Green Stuff'

lazyme's Note:

My step-mom first served this salad and it has become a family tradition since. I always make it for holiday dinners and one year I decided to try new things as I was a little tired and bored with the regulars. I didn't make this one year, and my grown son told me that I should not mess with tradition - this salad WAS the holidays. My kids all call this 'the green stuff'. ZWT West (Hawaiian pineapple).

This is delicious. I followed the recipe except I used cherry jello-o because we make a similar recipe for holidays using cherry jello and that is what we like. Made for Market Tag 2007

This was great. Reminded me about something my grandma used to make. I served it at a cookout and everyone liked it.
