My Grandmother made this using Lime Jell-O... any of the "citrus" flavors of Jell-O work great for this recipe. I still prefer the Lime. It's my "comfort food" go to.

Did your mom or grandma ever put a miracle whip/sugar topping on the jello with carrots & celery?? My mom is gone now & she put some topping on hers, just cannot remember what she used!

Yes! She mixed a little vinegar in it to thin it a bit I think. She also put a bit of onion and canned peas in with the carrots and celery. I loved it but my family thinks it's disgusting.
