Lime Jello Salad
This dish was always a part of our Thanksgiving table.
- 1 pkg lime jello (6oz)
- 1 pkg cream cheese (8oz) softened
- 1 can crushed pineapple (20oz) drained
- 3 stalks celery finely chopped
- 2 carrots grated
- mayonnaise or sour cream
Prepare Jello according to package directions and refrigerate in a mixing bowl until syrupy.
Using an electric mixer on low speed, add cream cheese to syrupy Jello and blend well.
Meanwhile, layer pineapple, celery and carrots evenly in bottom of 9x13 inch glass dish. Pour Jello and cream cheese mixture over all and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate until firm.
To serve, cut Jello salad into squares and place on a lettuce leaf. A small dollop of sour cream or mayonnaise is a nice addition. Makes 12 servings. Enjoy!
