BRIDE'S SALAD


Jell-O? Or cat vomit? You decide!

Today's recipe, from the Christmas Memories cookbook of the Roebuck Park Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama, is for a little jellied concoction called Bride's Salad. If my wife had made this for me on our honeymoon, an annulment would have been inevitable.

And why the heck do old people put mayonnaise in EVERYTHING? I don't even like mayo on sandwiches, much less mixed with artificially flavored limey sugar-water jelly. What kind of friggin' geniuses come up with this stuff? How poor are they that they need to stretch their Jell-O budget with whatever happens to be in the fridge?

In other news: I have a large cookbook collection, but I need help if all y'alls want this adventure to continue. Send your recipe submissions (with pics, if possible!) to churchsupperdisasters@hotmail.com!

1 small pkg. lime gelatin
1 c. crushed pineapple
1 c. shredded Cheddar cheese
1 c. nuts
3/4 c. mayonnaise

Prepare gelatin according to package directions. Refrigerate. When gelatin is partially congealed, add pineapple, cheese, nuts, and mayonnaise. Mix well. Pour into serving bowl. Top with whipped cream, if desired.
