    MikeInMa I have a recipe for a jellied cucumber salad. Main ingredients are lime Jello, grated cucumber, cottage cheese, green onions and a touch of mayo. I can post it if you want it.

    MikeInMa Here it is:

    1 pk lime Jello
    3/4 c boiling water
    1 1/2 c cottage cheese
    1 c grated cucumber
    1/2 c mayo
    green onions chopped up to taste

    Dissolve the Jello in the boiling water and set aside until it starts to thicken.
    Grate the cucumbers and mix in the cottage cheese, mayo, green onions.
    When the Jello starts to set, mix everything together and put in the fridge.
    I usually don't measure the cucumber so I probably put in more than that.
    If it doesn't want to set because you added too much cucumber, dissolve a Knox gelatin package in 1/4 c of boiling water, cool it a bit and mix it in.

    If you try it, let me know how it went. We come from an era where jellied salads of some sort were always served at family gatherings.
