Step-by-Step Aunt Myrna’s Party Cheese Salad Recipe

Step 1: Start off with the Pineapples

Firstly, take a deep pan and set it on the stove. Pour a can full of crushed pineapple in it. Always remember to combine all the ingredients over a low or medium flame. 

Step 2: Add Jell-O powder in the Pan

Take a big packet full of lemon or lime Jell-O powder and pour it all into the pan where you already have the pineapple. Mix the ingredients finely with a flat spoon or spatula.

Step 3: Get the Crème cheese on

Once the Jell-O powder is all dissolved add a full packet of cream cheese in the mix. It’s best to add the cheese in the softened state. After adding mix the ingredients properly until the cheese totally melts down. 

Step 4: Add the Veggies

After 3-5 minutes, when all the cream cheese is fully dissolved, add the chopped bell pepper, chopped celery, pimento and crashed pecans in the pan. Incorporate all the ingredients with a wooden spoon for 2-3 minutes over a medium or low flame.

Step 5: Top it off with Whipped Cream

At this stage turn the flame off and add a bowl full of whipped cream on the cooked salad. Mix it gently so you don’t spill it over the stove.

Step 6: Serve it on a Big Open Dish

Transfer the mixture to a big open serving dish and top with paprika and shredded American cheese after all the ingredients have been incorporated. You can serve this salad right away or chill it in the refrigerator until you’re ready to indulge in it.
