OT Martian Salad?

I find I may need to make something called Martian Salad for the sole
purpose of annoying someone.

It's one of those jello things....lime jello, cool whip, mini
marshmallows...what else?

Anybody got a recipe?

I have a Pastachio Salad recipe quite similar

Mix together
one package of pastachio instant pudding
1 can of crushed pineapple, including juice (the smaller size tin)
Add/fold in
1 small tub of Cool Whip
Refrigerate

My family loves it and it's quick and easy. I took it to a pot luck one
time and a lady went back for seconds for more of that "Yucky Green Salad"

OK Ann, this is secretly my most favorite dessert. I know, I hate to
admit, I have to hide to eat it or make it for myself when everyone is
gone for one reason or another. Otherwise, they all stand around and
make fun of me or make commentary, "Eeeuuuwwww, grosssssssss
Mooooooooom"

I LOVE Pistachio Pudding! THERE, I admit it! I even sometimes make
myself the instant kind and just eat it out of the mayonnaise jar I use
to shake it in, with a spoon and then I use my fingers to wipe the
inside of the jar clean! So THERE!

This is my favorite recipe. For anyone who is inviting me over to
dinner, please take note of the ingredients. ;-)

My DS's favorite is "Green Jello" - My EX-MIL makes it, I have no idea
what all goes in it besides green jello and pineapple - I'll find a
recipe for it one day so that I can make it for him - but in the mean
time, it is his "Grandma treat" when he goes to visit his dad now so I
won't impinge on that. Besides, I think the stuff is "Eeeuuuwwww,
grosssssssss Billlllllllllllly!"

Hugs,
Tina

Its other name is Watergate Salad. I like it, but not enough to make it.

Mum makes lime jello with canned pineapple and cottage cheese.

Pretty much the principle is the same... let the jello half-set, then
stir in the other ingredients. Then let it finish molding. The important
thing is never use *fresh* pineapple- the jello won't set.

Here's one my mom used to make:
1 pkg lime Jello
1/2 cup pineapple juice
1/2 cup water
Boil together two minutes. Add 12 marshmallows to above and let melt.
Whip 1/2 pint cream. Add 1/2 pint cottage cheese and whip together well.
Cool first mixture slightly and then add to cream mixture.
Stir in:
3/4 cup crushed pineapple, drained
3/4 cup nuts (optional)

Also this simpler variation from DSIL:
Stir together
1 3-ounce pkg lime Jello (dry)
1 small can crushed pineapple, drained
1 small carton cottage cheese
1 small carton Cool Whip

This one with pears sounds like the one that has become a staple at my
family's holiday gatherings. When Mom died, we decided that whoever got
the green bowl she always used for the salad had to make the salad for
future gatherings. http://www.nikibone.com/recipe/jello/pearsalad.html

Julia, this is one of my most favorite traditions in our family. We
have a "pass around" dish. Whoever takes it home that Christmas or
Thanksgiving - has to bring the dish in it the following family
gathering celebration. I started it with one of my grandmothers
casserole dishes and it has kept going now for the last six years.
It's a lot of fun and we all get to share the dish in between.

Hugs,
Tina

Ahh...Now what I know as Watergate salad is that green stuff made with
the pistachio instant pudding and the pinapple and cool whip. Hey
lookie! That is what this recipe is! *chuckle*

Obviously the image of Tina licking pistachio pudding out of a
mayonaise jar distracted you.

My aunt makes something similar with strawberry jello, but is doesn't
go in a mold. Lots of cottage cheese, a little cool whip, add dry
packet of jello, stir, add pineapple and marshmallows, stir. Looks
pretty, like fluffy pink clouds. Tastes like someone is trying to
hide the fact that it is cottage cheese.

grapes??? or pineapple?? coconut??? I've never had it... but I'm all for
annoying people in fun :-)

This is one of those "Jello is an abomination" people. He just
happened to mention that his mom made this salad every Christmas and
everybody hated it including her. I was thinking a bit of nostalgia
would do him no harm! *snicker*
I would probably also have one of my "good" jello dishes on the table
too.
Here is one of my favorites:

Frosted stuffed melon

1 honeydew or similar melon
4 oz of cream cheese
1 tablespoon (approx) of milk
1 medium cucumber
1 box of lemon jello
1/2cup boiling water
cold water

Peel and shred the cucumber. Place the shredded cucumber into a sieve
or jelly bag and set aside to drain reserving the juice.

Make the jello using 1/2 cup boiling water and cucumber juice + cold
water to make 1 cup.

Peel the melon, carefull slice one end off and remove the seeds.
Wit a sharp knife, carefully enlarge the inner cavity of the melon to
a capacity of at least 2 cups, if it is smaller than that. Take a thin
slice off of one side so that it will sit without rolling. Set melon
opening up in a bowl or a pan small enough to hold it steady.

When jello has thickened but not set, stir in the shredded cucumber
and pour it into the melon cavity. Paint a thin layer of jello on the
cut edges where the end was removed to expose the cavity, and replace
the melon end. Do what you will with excess jello if any.

When jello has set completely, thin cream cheese with milk to a
spreadable consistancy. Stand the melon on its side on the flat area
you cut, and frost it with the cream cheese. Chill til you want it.

Slice to serve.
