LOL!!!

Too late. I'm having mid-life flash backs to a time, real or
imagined, when lime cottage cheese and red fruit cocktail Jello was a
staple, even in restaurants. I may have a lovely experience or end up
going, "What the Hell was I thinking!". But, I gotta do it. I bailed
at the last minute the other night because the cottage cheese wasn't
right. Some kinda runny oozy crap which I tossed even though it
wasn't bad. Now I wonder if anyone even makes good cottage cheese
anymore. I haven't eaten c/c in years and can't say why. I've always
liked it.

Well, nb... I'm gonna take pity on you and give you an old family
recipe. Consider it a starting point and do with it what you will.

Eisenhower Salad (that's what they called it)

1 (16-oz) carton of cottage cheese
2 cups mayonaise
1 med. can crush pineapple (drained)
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 pkg (the small size) lemon jello
2 packages (small) lime jello

Disolve the jello in 1 cup of hot water and 1 1/2 cups cold water.
Add the cottate cheese and mayonaise.
Mix well.
Add the pineapple and walnuts.
Mix again and refrigerate.
When partially thickened (about 1/2 set), stir to prevent sinkers.
Chill until fully set.

I'm going to hang out in the chat channel for a while, if you have any
questions about the fine points of jello salad. LOL

Thanks for the contribution.....good to know that we ALL still have a
choice. Brings back fond memories of S&S Cafeteria!!

Life is a lot like a cafeteria....we pick the things we like and pass
on the little things that really don't matter much.

Each to own and all that. I've never made it, but I've eaten it and it
tastes pretty good. I don't understand people and Jello, I guess.

Here's one of my favorites, and if I make it for the family, they make
fun of me and then clean it all up.

Lime Jello Salad

Put 16 big marshmallows and 1 C. milk into top of double boiler over
simmering water. Stir until the marshmallows are melted and
incorporated into the milk. Sprinkle 1 small package of lime Jello
into the hot mixture, and stir until dissolved. Add 2, 3-oz. pkg. of
cream cheese, cut into small bits. Stir until the cream cheese is
melted and mixed in. You might have to remove the mixture from the
stove to prevent burning. Add in one # 2 can of crushed pineapple WITH
juice. Mix 1 C. whipping cream, whipped (use Cool Whip, if you want,
it will be more stable) and 2/3 C. mayonnaise. Mix all together and
chill until firm. Cut into squares and serve.

Hopefully no one will have questions about the fine points of this. It's
almost as bad as canned tuna in lime Jell-O. And this you cannot put in
martini glasses and say it's okay!

Actually, it's one of those "don't knock it until you've tried it"
things. I'm not a fan of jello salads in general and I'm certainly
not a fan of mayonnaise, but it's not as bad as you and Tammy seem to
think it is. Like I said... it's a family recipe (I'm not making it
up) and it appears at big family parties. Often, I'm the one who
makes it these days.

I like Trader Joes cottage cheese.
