• 1/2 cup pineapple tidbits, drained
• 2 Tbsp. green pepper, diced
• 2 Tbsp. pimiento, diced
• 1/3 cup celery, diced

Directions

Combine lemon Jello and hot water. Stir until dissolved. Add pineapple juice (with water to make 1 cup, if needed). Stir in vinegar and salt. Cool slightly. Add remaining ingredients. Turn into slightly oiled mold and chill until firm. Turn out onto lettuce leaves. Serve with salad dressing or mayonnaise. This salad has a surprising combination of ingredients. The most interesting part of this combination, the various fruits and veggies, settle into different parts of the Jello and give the appearance of various layers. Pretty!
