Lime Pineapple Salad

9 ingredients
6 steps

Ingredients

  • 2 (3 ounce) packages lime gelatin powder (jello)
  • 2 cups boiling water
  • 2 cups cold water
  • 1 (3 ounce) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
  • 1 (8 ounce) pineapple tidbits, drained
  • 1 (8 ounce) crushed pineapple, drained
  • 2 cups mini marshmallows
  • 1/2 cup pecans, chopped (optional)

Directions

  1. 1
    Dissolve packages of lime gelatin mix in 2 cups boiling water, remove from heat and stir well. Add 2 cups cold water and stir.
  2. 2
    Place gelatin mixture in a medium size bowl and allow to get cold in refrigerator. When gelatin mixture is slightly beginning to set around edges of bowl (test frequently -- you do not want it to completely set) remove from refrigerator.
  3. 3
    (To insure cream cheese is soft enough I microwave it for 20 seconds.) With an electric mixer beat softened cream cheese in a separate bowl and add small amounts by tablespoons into gelatin while beating. Add mayonaise.
  4. 4
    By hand, stir in drained pineapple, marshmallows and pecans. Pour into a 2 or 3 quart pyrex dish or plastic container and place in refrigerator. Let mixture get completely cold for at least 4-5 hours before serving.
  5. 5
    May be dipped out of container or served cut in squares topping a lettuce leaf.
  6. 6
    Enjoy!
