Instructions: * Lime, Orange, Raspberry, Mixed fruit, or any flavor Jello works well.

Do as
my Mother does, and use the flavor that best suits your table color scheme! :-)

** You may increase or decrease the amount of carrots, pineapple, and nuts as
you feel appropriate

Prepare the gelatin according to the package directions., but reduce the amount
of cold water by about 1/8 - 1/4, to accommodate the liquid from the carrots and pineapple. (If they are not very moist, then do not reduce the water. You also use some or all of the liquid from the pineapple, if you prefer.)

Pour the gelatin mixture into a square glass Pyrex casserole dish. Gently stir
in the grated carrots, crushed pineapple, and chopped nuts (if using).

Stir
until well mixed. Place in refrigerator until set.

To serve, slice the gelatin salad into squares or rectangles and place on a
lettuce leaf. You may top with a dollop of nonfat mayonnaise for a more finished look.

You may, of course, prepare this salad in any pretty gelatin mold that you
prefer. But making it in a square or rectangular Pyrex dish is as simple as it
gets.

Serves 9 - 12 as a side dish.
