How to Make Lime Grapefruit Pineapple Salad
- Prepare the fruit: Cube the pineapple and segment the grapefruit. Reserve the fruit juices.
- Bloom the gelatin: In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over 1/4 cup of the reserved fruit juice. Let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.
- Combine the ingredients: In a saucepan, combine the sugar, bloomed gelatin, and the remaining reserved fruit juice (about 1/2 cup). Add water to reach a total of 2/3 cup of liquid if necessary.
- Dissolve the gelatin: Heat the mixture over low heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar and gelatin are completely dissolved. Do not boil.
- Whisk in mayonnaise: Remove from heat and whisk in the mayonnaise until smooth and well-combined.
- Add fruit and nuts: Gently fold in the drained pineapple, grapefruit, and nuts (if using).
- Set the salad: Pour the mixture into a greased 9x9-inch baking dish or 1 1/2-quart mold.
- Chill: Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until the salad is firm.
- Serve: Cut the salad into nine squares and serve on a bed of lettuce. Top each serving with a dollop of mayonnaise and a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese (optional).
