I have never made it for any holiday but I like this one,
Make up lime or lemon jello, put it in the fridge until it is almost set, mix in about the same amount of Mayo, a little lemon juice and a bunch of slices cucumbers.

it is awesome, and it saves trying to get the fruit or veg to gel in the right place, my mom does a fruit cocktail on that you use the juice to make the jello and just put in the fruit from the can, and it usually floats, you have to add it or stir it just at the right time for it to be all the way through, I am not sure why but the cucumber and the jello go together really well,

The only time I cannot listen to a book is when I am reading directions, so I just put it on pause. I can't wait to get my new quilting station put together so I can get back to work here. I want to finish up the "Floating Stars" for our quilt and then I want to work on the cancer quilt, but this time, instead of using my own colors from my stash, I would like to have all the blocks in the same colors, but the patterns different. Gotta figure out how much fabric I need because the group that is sponsoring this is paying for the fabric, batting, backing and quilting. So, I will sit at my little station here and figure away, without the audiobooks on. Have you listened to the Jennifer Chiaverini stories? I am going to try to send you a private message. Edie

Some folks put a dab of mayo on top.
Also, when I was sick she would make vanilla pudding in small bowls and then after it was set, she would add on top black cherry jell-o. Refridgerate until set and serve.
I still like this when I am sick.
Try making your cranberry relish dish with black cherry instead of strawberry or raspberry jell-o. Really good.

My Mom always used orange jello for this. We LOVED it.

I had an aunt, actually I was named after her, who loved to dress up salads. Here is the one I remember - a small plate with a few pieces of lettuce, a slice of pineapple, 1/2 banana to stand inside the slice of pineapple hole (get the picture?) and a little slice of maraschino cherry on top of the banana, sort of wedged in the top to look like a candle with a flame! Well, when you are young, it is really cool!
One of my favorites to this day is another one of hers; a few slices of lettuce on the plate, a half of a canned peach, a dollop of cottage cheese and French dressing sprinkled over the top!
I also like any flavor of Jell-O, mixed with 1C boiling water,1/4C sugar, 1/4C cold water or fruit juice. Mix it up, let it set and then add 1C of whipped cream (or you can use one packet of Dream Whip mixed up). Very pretty, very light for a hot day. I served it with Lime Jell-O for our son's graduation 1,000 years ago. I tripled the recipe and it all went. IT is called Basic Bavarian!
You want salad and Jell-O recipes, as a Minnesotan! I have a book called "Joys of Jell-O". Have had it for many, many years and still use it. It is dog-eared, messed up, stained, but a tried and true recipe book. If you need any, please let me know. There are even vegetable salad recipes.
