Oh wow - this reminded me so much of one my mother in law used to make. I miss her. She took an 8oz container of cottage cheese, sprinkled the dry jello over it, mixed in the small container of cool whip, stirred in nuts and mandarin orange pieces. Thanks for reminding me of her in a sweet way; she's been gone since a month after my dad.

My mom makes something similar to this. It is cottage cheese strawberry jello pineapples, cool whip and nuts if you like them. I always called it pink stuff as a kid but I love it and we have it at cook outs all the time. This is something I will definitely try!!! Thanks :)

I'm so happy to find this. It was always served at Thanksgiving and/or Christmas when I was growing up. Unfortunately the recipe was lost and I'm the only one left in my family. We made it with 7up instead of the water. Thank you!

My family makes a dessert called Watergate Salad, but it isn't anything like this. You use pistachio pudding, cool whip, marshmellows, pineapple and nuts....its a family favorite. Alien salad, however, looks stinking good!! And if its sugar free (I use the sugar free cool whip) it needs to be tried. :) Plus my daughter would love it just cuz it looks wild....lol! Thanks for sharing!!

It's my favorite and on the jello box it was called lime jello desert. I loved that Furrs cafeteria always had it. Watergate salad is with pistachio pudding, pineapple, marshmallows and cool whip. I've seen one with lime jello, sweet condensed milk , cottage cheese and pineapple I've not tried yet. But I do remember mom adding cottage cheese to it because we all loved cottage cheese and it added more texture.

My grandmother made it. We didn’t know the name and called it The Green Stuff. Our recipe is slightly different. So good and only 10 zillion calories.

My aunt Joanne used to make this every year at Thanksgiving. We all called it “the green stuff” too - until she overheard one time, and quickly corrected us that it is actually called: SEAFOAM SALAD It’s been etched in my brain since then. Hers also included some coloured marshmallows thrown in after the mixing was finished. Soooooo yummy!

My grandma used to make this for the holiday gatherings and she called it Lime Jello Salad. That's the name Jello called it when they came up with the recipe, as far as I remember her saying. The pistachio one is different. You use 2 boxes of pistachio pudding instead of gelatin and you just dump the dry mix in plus cool whip, pineapple with the juice, mini marshmallows and chopped pecans and mix it all with a big spoon. That one is light and fluffy and quicker to make but both are delicious.

I know this as Watergate Salad, but with the addition of marshmallows and pistachio pudding. I think that Kraft may have developed the original recipe eons ago calling it Pineapple Delight but the name changed along with it's combo of ingredients somewhere along the way. Either way, it's really yummy and refreshing.

Never tried this version. Looking fwd to it! My Georgia cousin makes one similar that uses strawberry jello with diced strawberries, pecans, cool whip and cottage cheese instead of cream cheese and it's very good. She also uses low fat and sugar free ingredients and no one can tell. My mom made a 3 layer jello mold that used lime jello and cream cheese as the middle layer so pretty and tasty!!

I would suggest you add a packet of unflavored Gelatin for each small Jello package I have found it sets quicker and faster and you can add any fruit you want with success. Two packets for the large size Jello package . Just put it into the Jello mix when you are preparing the Jello . Works like a charm.

The only difference I can remember was the woman who taught me to make it used ginger ale and pineapple juice to make the lime jello (maybe part water too) and also added sliced, seedless red grapes. Otherwise it is exactly the same. Thanks for uploading this :) I had forgotten how to make it and wanted it for Christmas :)

This recipe has been a family favorite for over 50 years. Our name for it is a little odd.... Dad called it "Heavenly Goo"...and that's the name that stuck, and although he's been gone for some time now, that's the name that everyone knows it by. We traditionally used walnuts, or butternuts, because that's what grows around here, but we use pecans now too. I would like to know the real name for it....but to our family it will always be "Heavenly Goo".

@WillowPen07 7 жыл бұрын

I'm my family we call it "green jello salad" (we also have a red jello salad, one served Christmas Eve, the other Christmas Day), but I don't remember it every having any nuts. My mom says to drain the pineapple (per my great grama's recipe). My aunt adds marshmallows, and several in my family actually developed allergies to pineapple, so it's frequently omitted (I like it better without). We shifted from using cool whip to real whipped cream over the years. It's better, too. I'm currently trying to find a way to make this without jello brand gelatin, since I don't do well with artificial food coloring. I'm thinking some sort of lime syrup & gelatin...

Thanks for sharing! Just a word of caution, tho, about artificial sweeteners...especially aspartame and now, neotame. They are neurotoxic.and can cause infertility. There's a video here on youtube called "Sweet Misery". I would recommend everyone watch it. Also women who have had trouble conceiving are recommended to stop using artificial sweeteners and then usually have success afterwards.

@jdee4956 4 жыл бұрын

Artificial sweeteners upset your natural ability to gauge hunger. As for Cool Whip - is there anything natural actually in it? Go with natural ingredients and just eat smaller portions or less frequently. Far better for you.
