How to Make Grandma Vi's Green Jello Salad
- Drain the juice from one (20 ounce) can of crushed pineapple into a measuring cup.
- Add enough additional pineapple juice or water to reach 2 cups of liquid.
- Bring the 2 cups of liquid to a boil in a saucepan over medium heat.
- Remove from heat and immediately add two (3 ounce) packages of lime Jello powder. Stir constantly until completely dissolved.
- Add 8 ounces of softened cream cheese; beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
- Add 6 ice cubes and the crushed pineapple; stir until the ice is completely melted.
- Refrigerate until the mixture begins to thicken and becomes syrupy (about 1-2 hours).
- Gently fold in 1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans recommended), 1 cup finely shredded cabbage, and 8 ounces of whipped topping.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the salad to set completely.
