I love celery. Always have preferred it over carrots, which are sometimes just too hard for me to chew.
So when I was given this recipe many years ago I was excited to know my hubby really liked it too.
I recently had celery that needed to be eaten, and so....this is the recipe I went to.
Only I normally make it with lime jello, so I realized after using
lemon, I really do prefer the lime, but it's good either way.
I just used what I had on hand.
Can't go wrong. Give it a try. It's easy and delicious.
CELERY SALAD
1 3 ozs. pkg. lime or lemon jello
(I use sugar free of course)
3/4 c. boiling water
3/4 c. mayonnaise
2 c. finely diced celery
1 c. cottage cheese
1 c. chopped nuts
(we prefer pecans)
Dissolve jello in boiling water; chill for about 20 minutes or until it just begins to set up. Whisk in the mayonnaise until smooth, then add remaining ingredients.
Pour into pan and let chill until set.
Yield: 4 servings
(Prior to Weight Watchers Points Plus made this equal to 2 points each serving)

ReplyDeleteI am happy to have found your blog. If you bake anything you would like to share, stop by on Wednesday to link up with Bake with Bizzy.
ReplyDeleteI am excited about your cookbook. I have thought about doing that many times but you are obviously the doer. Much success with it.
Can't believe you are sharing this salad. My Aunt Nettie always made this on holidays. She calledit 7Cup salad. My husbands family doesn't care for it as they like sweet gelatin salads more but I love this. Another addition she uses was green olives...Not for everyone probably.
