I grew up with this salad . It was one of my favorites so when I became a diabetic I adapted it for that purpose. With so many prepackaged sugar-free products, it is a lot easier today.
Congealed Salad
1 pkg. sugar-free lime jello (or orange)
1/2 c. grated carrots
1/4 c. chopped pecans or walnuts
1 tbsp light mayonnaise
1 small can crushed pineapple, drained (reserved)
Mix jello with 1 cup boiling water until dissolved. Mix reserved juice with enough water to make 3/4 cup. Add to jello mixture. Stir in mayonnaise until incorporated. Add carrots, nuts and pineapple. Put mixture in a bowl or mold and chill until set or congealed. Serve on a bed of lettuce as a side dish with meat.
I never had a problem with my children eating this dish and they got vegetables in the deal.
