Favorite Summer Salad Recipes:Lime and Carrot Jello Salad

This is one of my aunt Nancy's favorite summer salad recipes, and I have to say it is now one of mine!

She made this molded lime jello salad for a recent family get together and it disappeared very, very quickly.

When the weather gets warm it's time for something cool.

This carrot and jello salad recipe isn't just a summer salad though. It works beautifully for any buffet table or family dinner. The ingredients may sound odd together but I encourage you to try it. It's really delicious!

1 - 3 ounce package lime jello powder
1 cup boiling water
3/4 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon lime or lemon juice
1½ cups carrots, grated

Stir jelly powder in boiling water until dissolved. Whisk in sour cream and juice.Stir in 1½ cups grated carrot. Turn into an oiled 4 cup mold.

Refrigerate at least until firm, about 2 hours. If possible, stir about 1/2 hour into the chilling, to mix the carrots through the jello.

Tips:

• If you are feeding a group, multiply everything by 5 and it will fill a standard bundt pan. The bundt pan molds it into a beautiful shape too.
• Use sugar free jelly powder and light sour cream to cut the calories if you wish, but cut down on the amount of water by just a tiny bit.
• Try different combinations. For example, lemon jello might taste wonderful with well drained pineapple pieces. Cherry jello with pieces of maraschino cherries?
