Tried 'n' True: Try this salad for luncheon, club meeting

I forgot I had this recipe. I don’t even remember who shared it with me. I do know it is very good. A pretty salad for a luncheon or club meeting.

I’m writing this the way it was written when I got it. But for my husband, Gene, I have to use sugar-free gelatin, sugar-free and fat-free ice cream and pineapple in its own juice. Then he can eat some.

Spring Ice Cream Salad

1 small box lime Jell-O

1 cup boiling water

1 can (small) crushed pineapple

1 quart vanilla or mint ice cream

1/2 cup nuts, chopped

• Dissolve Jell-O with boiling water.

• Add pineapple, ice cream and nuts

• Stir until ice cream is melted.

• Pour into clear glass dish.

• Refrigerate until firm.

Nice on lettuce leaf and served with assorted crackers. Can put into custard dishes and turn upside down on lettuce leaf.

Enjoy!
