Rolling_rhoda.......my husband is like your in-laws. He will NOT eat a salad with Cool Whip as a salad....it's dessert. :) :)

Call it what you want but anyone that isn't willing to eat dessert at the beginning, middle or end of a meal doesn't have their priorities straight. When dining at buffets, part of my strategy is to squeeze dessert in between trips to the carving table as to not be too full for dessert. ;)

I hear that.

My Gramma always served Jell-O salad with dinner, but it wasn't eaten until dessert. In NY, Jell-O and Cool Whip are dessert. Even when called 'salad'.
Fun fact - Jell-O was invented 15 minutes from where I live :D

Here's another salad my in- laws like. Me too.

1 3ounce pkg lime gelatin
1 9 ounce can crushed pineapple, drained
3/4 cup cottage cheese
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup Cool Whip

Prepare the gelatin using half the water indicated on the box. Set aside to cool for 15-20 mins (so it doesn't melt the Cool Whip). Then stir in remaining ingredients. Chill two hours before serving.
