Lime Jello Salad

"My Lime Jello Salad is a creamy, fluffy, retro dish. It is a true holiday classic. It’s a familiar favorite at potlucks and special dinners. Whether you grew up with it or are bringing it back, it’s comfort in a chilled dish. It’s truly a nostalgic salad my grandma used to make, and one that everyone loves. My family loves light, refreshing desserts. So I have a lot of classic recipe cards with excellent recipes like my Pineapple Fluff with Pretzels and Strawberry Jello Salad Recipe. This simple side recipe is pure nostalgic comfort. Grandma’s green jello was always a staple Christmas jello salad because it’s creamy, simple and sweet yet tart. The addition of softened cream cheese transforms the classic, clear Jell-O into a creamy, mousse-like, and indulgent salad (or dessert!), offering a richer mouthfeel than a standard gelatin mold. The tart lime Jell-O and cream cheese are perfectly balanced by the sweetness and texture of the crushed pineapple and its juice. This vintage lime jello salad is a beloved retro dish that instantly brings a sense of nostalgia to any holiday table or gathering. With only five simple ingredients and a quick mix-and-chill process, it’s a foolproof recipe for even novice cooks. Ready when you want a great side. "
