My in-laws called it green marsian food. I leave out the mayo,milk,cottage cheese and use whip topping instead. I wait for jello to soft jell and mix in small container of whip topping blending enough to see tiny chunks of jello so that it looks a bit green and white, even sometimes leaving jello in bottom undisturbed

oh... my.... god. i cant stop saying it. i made some of this tonight, was a little iffy about the mayo but i put it in anyways, was a little worried about how it would turn out because it smelled really mayonnaisey when i went to put it in the fridge and seemed a little greasy around the edge of the bowl when i went to wipe the edge for a picture. im saving it for dessert tomorrow but i wanted to taste a little bit to see how it turned out.. and HOLY . this stuff is absolutely to die for. that little bit is about to turn into the whole bowl full, but i need to be strong. i did everything exactly how the instructions said, except i dont like pecans so i substituted those for sliced almonds and i added shredded coconut. nothing too drastic that would change the flavor much from the original recipe. its not how i remember the green jello salad being made when i was little (i think it was just pineapple, grapes, coconut and pecans mixed in the lime jello) but its good... much MUCH better than how i had it when i was growing up. definitely keeping this one for years and years.. and im going to share it with anyone that will take it. do NOT let the mayonnaise in it stop you from making this.

This is very similar to one my Grandmother served at ALL holiday dinners. I've made it in the past, but without the milk, and it's always turned out great.

Delicous! I was a little nervous at first when i read about the mayo since i'm not big on mayo, but it tasted wonderful!! I didn't add the pecans since i don't like nuts and it was perfect. Thanks!

I had no idea I would find this recipe here, and it is a little different from the one we make. In my family, it is always a tradition on Thanksgiving or Christmas. We make it with creamed cheese instead of mayo, milk, and cottage cheese. I never get tired of it, but it's a good thing we only have it once or twice a year!!! Any way you make it, it's GREAT!

Love this recipe! My mother-in-law first introduced this to me(she added a small grated apple) and I didn't care for it at first but it has grown to be a favorite!

I was very excited to see this recipe. My mom & grandma have made this for years, our family loves it! My recipe was very vague so it is nice to have a more detailed description. To cut calories and sugar I have made this with sugar-free jello, low-cal mayo, & fat-free evaporated milk & it it still tastes great! Sometimes, walnuts & marachino cherries are added.

I don't know what I did wrong, but this was a disaster. I made it for a holiday meal at work. It never gelled. It stayed in a liquid form. I was mortified. The saving grace was that it tasted delicious.

My family makes this every thankgiving and sometimes christmas....we change it up a bit, though. Instead of mayo and milk we use yogurt (either lime or lemon flavor) and we also use walnuts instead of pecans. Its delicious!

My family, too, has made this recipe for years, we all love it and think Thanksgiving and Christmas require this salad. However, we add chopped celery, but never canned milk. How does that affect the salad?

My Mother made this always for the holidays she added chopped celery. It really added a great taste and crunch. I would say 1/2 cup to this recipe.

I am so thrilled to see this recipe as it has been a family favorite for generations in our family as well. We always thought that our family was the only one that liked it as in-laws and others did not appreciate it even slightly! In our family we included, if you can believe it a teaspoon or more of prepared horseradish! Gives it a kick and is completely bizarre to wrap your head around but it works. Ours also used walnuts from the family farm in Gridley, CA. This recipe made me very nostalgic for wonderful holidays during my youth. THANKS!

My sister-in-law asked if I could find and make this recipe for Thanksgiving and I am so glad I did, it was great! I did use sugar free jello and light mayo and it still tasted great. I am sure I will be making this many times.
