HOLIDAY GREEN SALAD

The Mittelstaedt Family

Ingredients:




1 6 oz. box lime (or cherry) Jello

2 cups boiling water




1 cup miniature marshmallows (I often add an extra ½ cup)

1 8 oz. Pkg. Cream cheese, softened and cut into ½ -3/4”cubes

1 cup Miracle Whip Salad Dressing




1 cup crushed pineapple, drained (I often add an extra ½ cup)

1 cup heavy cream, whipped




Directions:




Pre-chill a small mixing bowl in fridge or freezer for whipping the cream.




In a 9x13” glass dish, dissolve Jello in boiling water.




Working quickly while water is still hot, add marshmallows and stir.

(You want them to begin to soften and dissolve a bit.)

Add cream cheese and salad dressing.

Stir together. Let cool completely.




Meanwhile, in chilled bowl with a mixer on high speed, whip heavy cream to soft peaks.




When jello mixture is cool:




Stir in drained pineapple.

Fold in whipped cream.




Cover with plastic wrap or lid.

Refrigerate until set – preferable overnight.




Notes: This recipe can be halved.

You can substitute sugar-free Jello and Lite salad dressing and non-fat cream cheese to reduce calories.
