Ingredients
- 3 ounces lemon jello
- 1 cup boiling water
- 8 ounces canned crushed pineapple
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 medium carrots grated
- ½ cup Chopped Pecans
- dash salt
- mayonnaise optional
Instructions
- Drain the pineapple, reserving the juice. Set the pineapple aside for now.
- To the reserved pineapple juice, add the lemon juice and enough cold water to equal one cup.
- Dissolve the jello with boiling water.
- Stir the pineapple juice mixture into the dissolved jello.
- Pour the jello into a mold or a small square baking dish.
- Place it in the refrigerator and chill until it begins to thicken (about 45 minutes to 1 hour).
- Add the reserved pineapple, shredded carrots, pecans and salt. Stir very well to combine the ingredients.
- Pour into a mold and chill until set (4 hours or overnight).
- To serve, cut into squares and top with a small dollop of mayonnaise (if desired).
Notes
- When mixing the salad ingredients, be sure to stir until fully combined and evenly distributed. This will ensure that each bite has a consistent mix of all the flavors and textures.
- The salad must be refrigerated for at least 4 hours to set properly but is best if chilled overnight.
- May be stored in your fridge covered for up to 5 days.
