Family Favorite Recipe - Lime Jello Salad
Debbie J. Webb's "Lime Jello Dessert/Salad" Recipe
Very Easy to Prepare
Ingredients:
2 boxes small or 1 box large: Lime Jello
One 8oz. pkg. Original Philladelphia Cream Cheese (Note: the 1/3 less Fat or Fat Free does not work well at all in this recipe)
1 can 20oz. Crushed Pineapple in it's own juice (I use Dole brand)
1 cup Chopped Pecans
2 cups Boiling Water
1 cup Cold Water
In a 13 x 9 glass dish:
Add dry Jello Add 2 cups Boiling Water Mix Well with fork.
Add 1 cup Cold Water Mix well.
Add Cream Cheese and mash with a fork; start with one area at a time until all is done.
Mash any large pieces left. Don't mix.
Add Crushed Pineapple, including the juice! Gently mix.
Add Chopped Pecans (reserve a tad to sprinkle on top after mixing). Gently mix.
Sprinkle reserved pecans on top.
Carefully (not touching liquid) place plastic wrap tightly over dish.
Refrigerate until firm. At least 4 hours. Overnight is best, as this dish usually sits out buffet style.
TIPS:
Prepared a day in advance, makes your main day smoother.
Using a plastic spatula makes nice square cuts & keeps it neat.
Walnuts can be substituted for the pecans, but pecans make a hit!
Also, nuts can be eliminated if needed due to allergies, etc.
This is a family & friends favorite at Holidays & Special Gatherings. They will ask you to make this everytime!
