When we got unexpected company we'd stretch dinner with a jello salad.
1 large pkg any flavor jello, lime wa my favorite
1 small container (pt) cottage cheese
1 small container of Coolwhip (in the 70's you had to mix up that dry mix stuff -- don't even remember the name of it anymore. Coolwhip is much nicer!)
1 small can crushed pineapple drained
Just dump, stir, let set a few minutes and serve.
Forgot the other quick salad for summer:
Raisin Carrot
Shred about 5 good sized carrots
Add at least a cup of raisins
Add one can of drained water pack tuna
Mix in enough Miracle Whip to moisten
Had this first when I visited a friend in Minnesota served with homemade Corn Chowder from home grown corn. Wasn't to sure about the tuna until I tried it and liked it. Have made both the chowder and salad many times since.
