My great aunt published a cookbook in the 1940′s which included a recipe for a “holiday salad” which consisted of green jello, little marshmallows, canned fruit salad, cream cheese, maybe condensed milk or whipping cream and there definitely was mayonaise. It was made in a ring mold and the mayonaise was like a garnish, plopped in the hole in the middle. It was considered some kind of adult dish; and we definitely did not like it as kids, but loved it as older teens and beyond. I have such a craving for it, and would appreciate getting the recipe — I can’t find the cookbook and my aunt published under a pseudonym out of Boston….

Had a hankering for lime jell-o and been surfing the web for about 45 minutes. Ran across your recipe and cannot WAIT to make it this evening.

Yes……I actually admitted I had a hankering for lime jell-o.

Hi, Loved your post, and I’m ashamed to admit it, but this recipie actually sounds really good to me,lol. I’m gonna make it for Thanksgiving for my husband who loves lime Jello and son who loves Sprite. I used to live with my grandma who had Alzheimer’s. She would Call me “hey you”. One day I asked her if she had a grandaughter and said “yes her name is Debbie”, and I said “Grandma,I’m Debbie!”. Excitedly, she exclaimed you are?! Teary eyed she hugged me and happily said, “And all this time I thought you were the maid! An hour later she went back to “hey you”.

Green Jello is a must in our extended family. My sweet mother-in-law used to make it; now it is my ‘thing.’ One year my mother-in-law made red jello with apples, cranberries and walnuts. The entire younger generation howled in outrage. It simply was NOT the holiday without her green jello. Poor thing was completely taken aback; but she never again missed making the green jello. btw, the red jello was actually pretty good. it just wasn’t green….
