Ingredients for - Grandma's Pineapple Cucumber Lime Jello Salad

1. 1 (6 ounce) package of Jell-O Lime gelatin -
2. 1 teaspoon salt -
3. 2 cups hot water -
4. 2 cups cold water -
5. 1 1/2 cups peeled, diced cucumbers -
6. 3 tablespoons horseradish (or more if you want it spicier) -
7. 1/2 teaspoon grated onion -

How to cook deliciously - Grandma's Pineapple Cucumber Lime Jello Salad

1. Stage

In a bowl, dissolve lime jello and salt in 2 cups of hot water (don't use boiling water, just regular hot water). Add 2 cups cold water. Chill until slightly thickened - the consistency of egg whites, about 30 minutes.

2. Stage

In a separate bowl mix cucumber, horseradish, grated onion, and vinegar. Fold pineapple and cucumber mixture into jello. Pour into a jello mold and chill for several hours (about 6) until gelatin sets.

3. Stage

To remove jello from its mold, fill up a basin half-way with hot water. Lower the jello mold into the hot water, metal side down, until the water comes up almost to the edge of the mold. Keep it there 5 seconds and remove. Place a plate on top of the jello mold and turn upside down. The jello salad should just slide out.
