Reviews
My kids wouldn’t even try it when I explained the ingredients, but MORE for me . Rest of my family loves it. I could eat the whole bowl by myself. I’ve used diced instead of crushed pineapple and it was still great. I’m not big on nuts but they were great here. They’re softened slightly overnight. MMM!! Edit: I made it again tonight without pineapple as I didn’t have any. It really needs it.
I love this salad from the ‘70’s! It’s creamy, cool, refreshing, and easy. I omitted the nuts this time (I usually use pecans) because of grandchildren and orthodontics, but I always add them when it’s just my husband and me. This salad works well with almost any flavor of gelatin.
