PERFECTION SALAD- GRANDMA'S VERSION

GRANDMA'S SUNSHINE SALAD
I don't know where Grandma got this recipe. It, and many like it, were popular back in the 1950's and 60's. It may have originated with the Jello Company. Every church supper and family gathering had a similar dish and everyone had their variations. This was one of my Grandma's favorites.

Steps:
- 1. Drain pineapple and set the pineapple aside for now. To the pineapple juice, add the lemon juice and enough cold water to equal one cup. Dissolve the jello with boiling water. Stir the pineapple juice mixture into the dissolved jello.
- 2. Pour the jello into a mold or a small square baking dish. Place it in the refrigerator and chill until it begins to thicken (about 45 minutes to 1 hour).
- 3. Add the reserved pineapple, shredded carrots, pecans and salt to the jello. Stir very well to combine the ingredients. Pour into a mold and chill until set (4 hours or overnight). To serve, cut into squares and top with a small dollop of mayonnaise (if desired).
GRANDMA'S JELLO SALAD
When ever I serve this dish I get rave reviews. My grandma used to make this for our holiday meals; it was the only thing that NEVER had leftovers. When most people hear the ingredients. they are often skeptical until they try it. So far it has won over everyone that has tried it. It is so simple to make that you can have it any night. Prep time is time to combine items and cook time is time to chill. Servings are approx.
