This salad has been a family favorite for over four generations, requested every Thanksgiving and Christmas. It is smooth and creamy with the crunch of pecans, and light green in color. It has a very unique flavor, and goes very quickly at our home. Any left over crushed pineapple and cottage cheese make a great snack for kids.

Ingredients

  • pineapple: 1 cup (drained with juice reserved, crushed)
  • water: 1 cup (or as needed)
  • lime flavored Jell-O® mix: 1 pack (3 ounce pack)
