Lime Pineapple Salad

Ingredients

• 2 (3 ounce) packages lime gelatin powder (jello)

• 2 cups boiling water
• 2 cups cold water

• 1 (3 ounce)  cream cheese, softened
• 1 tablespoon mayonnaise

• 1 (8 ounce)  pineapple tidbits, drained

• 1 (8 ounce)  crushed pineapple, drained
• 2 cups mini marshmallows
• 1/2 cup pecans, chopped (optional)

Directions

1. 1

   Dissolve packages of lime gelatin mix in 2 cups boiling water, remove from heat and stir well. Add 2 cups cold water and stir.

2. 2

   Place gelatin mixture in a medium size bowl and allow to get cold in refrigerator. When gelatin mixture is slightly beginning to set around edges of bowl (test frequently -- you do not want it to completely set) remove from refrigerator.

3. 3

   (To insure cream cheese is soft enough I microwave it for 20 seconds.) With an electric mixer beat softened cream cheese in a separate bowl and add small amounts by tablespoons into gelatin while beating. Add mayonaise.

4. 4

   By hand, stir in drained pineapple, marshmallows and pecans. Pour into a 2 or 3 quart pyrex dish or plastic container and place in refrigerator. Let mixture get completely cold for at least 4-5 hours before serving.

5. 5

   May be dipped out of container or served cut in squares topping a lettuce leaf.

   Enjoy!
