This was one of my favorite dishes. My mother-in-law made it for family gatherings and I'm sure the other women in the family made it as well. This congealed dessert makes a very pretty sporting its pale green color.

This congealed dessert makes a very pretty sporting its pale green color.

1 box (3 oz.) lemon flavor gelatin
1 box (3 oz.) lime flavor gelatin
1 cup hot water
1 cup sweetened condensed milk
1 pint cottage cheese
1 package (3 oz.) cream cheese
1 cup mayonnaise
1 can (No. 2) crushed pineapple, drained
1 cup chopped nuts

Dissolve gelatin in hot water. While still hot, stir in sweetened condensed milk. Cream together cottage cheese, cream cheese, and mayonnaise. When gelatin mixture begins to congeal, add cheese mixture, pineapple, and nuts. Put into mold and chill until firm. To serve, unmold and garnish as desired.

I make this refreshing salad (or dessert) when I need something that is pretty to serve and tastes great. This delightful green salad will look perfect for that St. Patrick's Day gathering after the parade. Why not try it out on your group of Irish laddies? I don't usually tell anyone that it has cottage cheese in it, because they tend to shy away from eating it. But believe me, the cottage cheese doesn't detract from the taste, texture, or appearance.

A family Easter gathering would also be the perfect time to serve this congealed salad. Easter will soon be here. Why not serve it for your Easter party?

Makes around 18-20 servings.
