 John Yells (New York) says:
Good for both side salad or dessert. Have always added a 1/4 cup Miracle Whip to mine.

I haven't made this yet but it sounds like the salad my mom would make...I don't remember how she made it but I think that this will be very close.

My mom would make jello soufflé every Thanksgiving and Christmas. Instead of the marshmallows, she would incorporated diced celery. It was my favorite dish growing up...

My Mother made this for years - minus the marshmallows and loaded with pecans. I have kept it going. It is "lovingly" referred to as "Green Stuff" by my family. We love it!!

My Mom got this recipe from her friend Emogene Mayer of Selah, Wa. I recently found out that Emogene had passed as well as my Mom. So today, I decided to make in their memory.

My Mother has made this for years, but I never knew of any other family that served it. I realized not long ago that its essentially a panna cotta. My Mom was ahead of her time.

 Linda (Michigan) says:
My mom always made this but she also added small chopped up pieces of cream cheese.

Love the memories this salad brings to my mind. I used a 6oz pack of jello, so I had to use more liquid. I used ALL pineapple juice. 4 cups total. I didn't melt the marshmallows because it makes the jello too tough. Instead, fold the mini marshmallows in with all the ingredients after jello has set. One last thing... I whipped 1/2 of the jello with cool whip and left the other 1/2 plain. It makes for a pretty salad.

When my daughter was very young, she'd ask her gramma to make "that icky looking green salad" for holidays. It's been her favorite and now that my mom has passed, it's time for me to carry on the tradition. Since I lost the recipe, I'm glad I "found" it again! Thanks!!

Hi, I have tears in my eyes, beacause my grandma used to make this when I was little, but no one in my family remembers it. Thought I was crazy, but now that I see other people have made this I'm so happy. Thanks :)

This recipe was a family standard at my Grandparents. In addition to all other Holiday foods, this lime green JELLO supreme was always on hand. Hey, great for Easter, and probably all ingredients will be available Kosher for Passover too. Thanks for making this classic recipe available.

My family loves this recipe. But after the Jello thickens, we whip it until its frothy, then add the rest of the ingredients.
