Refreshing pineapple cucumber lime jello salad with a hint of horseradish, perfect for a throwback treat.
Ingredients:
  • 1 (6 ounce) package of Jell-O Lime gelatin
  • 2 cups hot water
  • 2 cups cold water
  • 1 1/2 cups peeled, diced cucumbers
  • 3 tablespoons horseradish (or more if you want it spicier)
  • 1/2 teaspoon grated onion
  • 2 tablespoons vinegar
  • 1 1/2 cup diced or crushed drained canned pineapple (you cannot use fresh pineapple with gelatins. The bromelaine enzyme in fresh pineapple will keep the gelatin from bonding.)
Instructions:
  • Dissolve lime jello and salt in a bowl with 2 cups of just-hot water, ensuring it's not boiling. Stir in 2 cups of cold water and refrigerate until slightly thickened, resembling the texture of egg whites, for around 30 minutes.
  • Combine cucumber, horseradish, grated onion, and vinegar in a bowl. Gently mix in pineapple. Transfer the mixture to a jello mold and refrigerate for about 6 hours until set.
  • Fill a basin half-way with hot water. Immerse the jello mold, metal side down, until the water almost reaches the edge of the mold. Hold for 5 seconds, then remove. Cover the mold with a plate and flip it over for the jello salad to release easily.
