Recipe Tips
Tips for Perfect Lime Jello Salad
- Temperature Matters: Ensure your gelatin is completely dissolved in warm (not boiling) water before adding cold ingredients. This prevents grainy texture.
- Folding Technique: When incorporating the Cool Whip, use a gentle folding motion rather than vigorous stirring to maintain the airy texture that makes this salad special.
- Setting Time: While the minimum setting time is about 4 hours, allowing the salad to chill overnight yields the best flavor as it melts the flavors together.
