Have you ever seen a recipe, and thought “NO WAY”. Well, today I would like to share one of those type recipes. Growing up, my mom made a green gelatin salad every year for Christmas. Thankfully as a kid I did not realize what was in it, or I may not have eaten it. Cottage cheese and lime jello, are not a combination I would have tried.
We called it “green stuff”. When my mom gave me the recipe before I got married the recipe card said “green stuff”. I guess it is because my sister and I could not pronounce the word congealed or gelatin, who knows. But to help you I will call Green Gelatin Salad.
I’m not sure why we only had it at Christmas, I think it goes great for St. Patrick’s Day. I have found that green deserts are a little hard to find.
Heat 1 cup of water to boiling. Remove from heat and add Jell-O. Stir until dissolved and add marshmallows. Stir until melted. Place pineapple and Jell-O in blender and blend till smooth. Add cottage cheese and blend again. And remaining cup of water and nuts. Pour into dish and place into fridge until set.
