My mom made both of the carrot salads-----one was just finely shredded carrots, raisins and mayonnaise. The other was lemon jello (I prefer orange) with shredded carrots and crushed pineapple. My MIL put finely chopped apple in both of these on occasion. Both topped the Jello salad with a spoonful of something white...mayo, sour cream, or cool whip.
Question: My mom made a lime jello salad that had mini-marshmallows and shredded cheese put in while the jello was still hot, then when it cooled she added whipped cream from a can, crushed pineapple and some chopped pecans. And maybe another ingredient or two... Anybody have this recipe? I'd love to share it with my brand new DIL since it was my son's favorite as a kid.
