~*~ Lime Congealed Salad ~*~

Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups water, divided
2 (3-ounce) boxes of lime gelatin
1 (16-ounce) carton of cottage cheese
1/2 cup of mayonnaise
1 (20-ounce) can of crushed pineapple in pineapple juice
1 cup chopped pecans, more for garnish, if desired

Directions:  Bring 1 cup water to a boil. Place the gelatin in a bowl and pour the boiling water over it. Stir until dissolved. Stir in 1 1/2 cups of cold water. Let cool to lukewarm (you can place it in the refrigerator for a few minutes, but do not let it set). In a separate bowl, combine the cottage cheese and mayonnaise. Stir in the pineapple with its juice. Stir in the cooled gelatin mixture. Stir in the nuts. Carefully pour the mixture into a large ring mold or serving bowl. Chill until firm. Garnish with nuts, if desired. Pretty and tasty! ~ Chef ~
