Deep Sea Salad

Submitted by Aunt Janice (My Dad's sister, this was their Mom's recipe - aka Nanny)

This is a recipe from my Dad's Mom, Nanny. It's what I would like to classify as old school, I'm guessing it's a good 50 or 60 years old. There was a time when Jell-O salads were THE thing to make. My Mom used to make a green Jell-O salad that required all green ingredients...olives, celery, you name it!!! ig.

1 pkg. lime jello (small)
1 pkg orange jello (small)
2 cups boiling water
1/2 package small marshmallows
1/2 cup salad dressing (aka miracle whip or mayo)
1/2 cup whipped cream
1 pkg. cream cheese or cottage cheese (I'm guessing about a cup)
Small can crushed pineapple

Put in bowl orange jello and marshmallows. Add boiling water and whip until marshmallows are melted. Add cream/cottage cheese and salad dressing. Let Chill and then add whipped cream and crushed pineapple(drained). Refrigerate until set. Fix lime jello as directed on box and let cool so it won't melt other jello and pour on top of set orange jello. Refrigerate until firm.

I think I remember eating this and it actually sounds pretty good. Maybe I'll make it so I can add a picture!
