I have to make that Eisenhower salad soon and give you the recipe...
it's very close to this. Jello, not pudding. Cottage cheese (not as
gross as you'd think) instead of Cool Whip... no cherries.


thanks

I have an aversion to all things lime. Except certain Jell-O salads. I
like lime Jell-O with cottage cheese! Bring the recipe on!

Were you were spared all the dopey songs and slogans they had in those
days... "I Like Ike"?


Eisenhower Salad

1 (16 oz.) carton cottage cheese -
*SIL insists it's best with large curd, but I use small*
2 C mayonnaise
1 med can crushed pineapple, drained
1 C chopped walnuts
1 pkg (sm) lemon jello
2 pkg (sm) lime jello
1 C hot water
1 1/2 C cold water

Dissolve all the jello in 1 cup of hot water, and then add 1 1/2 cups
cold water. Stir in cottage cheese and mayonnaise. Add drained
pineapple and chopped walnuts, mixing thoroughly. Pour into a 9 x 13
inch pan if you're planning to cut it into squares.

When partially set, stir again to suspend all pieces of pineapple and
walnut. Chill until set.
