I can't remember what all was in it, Barb, but the mayo was part of the
jelled mixture, not served on top.

Here it is. The SIL that I learned the recipe from and I differ
about which type of cottage cheese is best. She likes large curd, I
prefer small curd. Neither of us have made it in years though, so
just posting the recipe is a walk down memory lane.


Eisenhower salad

1 (16 oz carton) cottage cheese
2 cups mayonnaise
1 medium can crushed pineapple (drained)
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 small package lemon jello
2 small packages lime jello
1 cup hot/boiling water
1 ½ cups cold water

Dissolve the Jello in hot water - stirring well. Add the cold water
and stir again. Add cottage cheese and mayonnaise. Mix well. Add
pineapple and walnuts, mix. Pour into a 9 x 13 rectangular pan.
Refrigerate. When partially set (half set), stir well to distribute
the pineapple and nuts evenly.

Chill until hard set. Cut into squares and serve.

Yep, that's the one. Thanks, Barbara!
