Ingredients

• 6 ounces Lime-flavored gelatin mix
• 2 cups Boiling water
• 1.5 cups Cold water
• 1 cup Crushed pineapple (drained)
• 2 cups Cabbage (finely shredded)
• 1 cup Carrot (grated)
• 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the lime-flavored gelatin mix in 2 cups of boiling water. Stir until completely dissolved, about 2 minutes.

Step 2

Add 1.5 cups of cold water to the gelatin mixture and stir to combine. Allow the mixture to cool slightly but do not let it set yet.

Step 3

Stir in the drained crushed pineapple, finely shredded cabbage, and grated carrot. Mix thoroughly so the ingredients are evenly distributed.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise and salt until smooth. Gradually fold this mixture into the gelatin mixture until well combined. The mayonnaise will help create a creamy texture.

Step 5

Pour the entire mixture into a 9x13-inch glass or plastic dish (or individual serving molds, if preferred).

Step 6

Cover and refrigerate the dish for at least 4-6 hours, or until the salad is fully set and firm.

Step 7

Once set, slice into squares or scoop servings using a spoon. Serve chilled as a refreshing side or light dessert.
