CALAMITY SALAD 
1 sm. pkg. lime Jello
1 (3 oz.) pkg. Philadelphia cream cheese, cut in 1/2" pieces
1 med. size can fruit salad
2 c. boiling water
48 mini marshmallows
1 c. whipping cream
1/4 c. chopped pecans

Dissolve Jello in 2 cups boiling water. Stir in cream cheese, mix well. Cool mixture in refrigerator until it starts to congeal. Drain fruit. Whip cream and gently fold into lime cream cheese mixture. Add fruit, marshmallows and nuts to mixture and refrigerate until it sets. Serves 8 to 10.

NOTE: Many variations of this salad may be prepared. For example, marshmallows may be omitted, maraschino cherries may be substituted for fruit salad, nuts may be omitted or a different type used, but the basic Jello cheese whipping cream mixture must be adhered to for best results.
