Lime Congealed Salad
Lime Congealed Salad is a chilled gelatin-based salad combining lime gelatin and cream cheese, mixed with pineapple, pecans, celery, and mini marshmallows for texture variety. The salad sets firmly to create a sweet, tangy, and creamy dessert or side that can be sliced into squares for serving alongside meats or with whipped cream as dessert.

Ingredients
- .3 ounce lime gelatin mix
- 8 ounces cream cheese room temperature
- 2 cups water boiling
- 8 ounces pineapple drained, crushed, canned
- ½ cup pecans chopped
- ¼ cup celery finely chopped
- 1 ½ cups mini marshmallows
Instructions
- Using a stand or hand-held mixer, cream the jello together with the cream cheese.
- Reduce the mixer speed to the lowest possible and add the water a small amount at a time to begin with. After the mixture has loosened up and the water begins to incorporate easy, add the rest all at once.
- Continue mixing until the cream cheese, jello and water are thoroughly and smoothly combined.
- Pour into a mold or dish.
- Refrigerate until the mixture is partially set (about two hours, but check periodically).
- Remove from refrigerator and stir in the remaining ingredients.
- Return to refrigerator until completely set. Check after an hour to make sure the marshmallows are submerged. If not, stir them into the mixture again. The salad will need about 4 hours to completely set.
- Cut into squares to serve.

Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days to maintain texture and freshness.
- Stir the salad periodically during setting to ensure marshmallows remain submerged and soft.
- This salad can serve as both a side dish with meats or a dessert when topped with whipped cream.
