Would have to look up the exact measurements but ingredients are pistachio pudding, cool whip, mini marshmallows, crushed pineapple and nuts....... and I wonder why I'm not losing weight.

I have been reading all these 70's salads, mostly ones with jello, but haven't seen any of you say you ever put sliced bananas in the jello. My mother always put bananas in jello, and then she ate it with mayo on top. I thought that was blah!!! until I tried it, and it tasted great to me.

Tomato Aspic ... here's a recipe that I found online similar to what my Mom made. I know she used tomato juice, and lemon jello, along with chopped celery. I never cared for it ... though maybe with age, I now would?

It must be good, if it has Betty Crocker's name on it! Right?

In the 60s my mom used to do the veggies in lemon or lime jello...and to this day I get the shudders when I think of it. I just couldn't stand the texture combination of the crunchy carrots, celery, cabbage, nuts or whatever combintation she used with the slippery slime of the jello. I well remember sitting one Halloween evening gagging and trying to get that down before I was allowed to trick or treating. I cried and gagged and tried my best, but even washing it down with lots of water didn't work. I like jello with fruit, but not veggies.
