Great retro dish that goes great with ham. I thought I'd be the only one who enjoyed this, and was surprised when my son not only ate it, but looked for leftovers the next day. I cheated and used 1 1/2 cups of packaged coleslaw mix. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

    Thank you Pam for submitting this recipe. My mother made this (except for the carrots) EVERY Thanksgiving of my life, until she passed away 21 years ago. For 21 years I kept the molds she used for the individual jello salads and never once used them or made the salad because it was too painful. This year I decided to dig out the molds and realized I didn't know the exact recipe for the jello. I recognize all the ingredients except the carrots, so this will do nicely. Thank you for allowing me to start up the tradition once again. I noticed other readers mentioned the mayo. My mom used to put a dollop of mayo on each individual serving as well. Sounds horrible, put honestly there's something to it and I always loved it.

    Sorry, we did not care for this at all. Love each ingredient individually but together it did not work for us. I think perhaps it would be an improvement to skip the pineapple juice and replace with water. the jello was very sweet Sure was worth a try though.

    These type of salad reminds me of church picnics with my grandmother. We made the green jello and added shredded carrots and a can of small peas..after it was partially set..this is wonderful too except I would omit the juice.
