I’m not exactly sure who started it, but my family has a green salad for holiday dinners.
it’s sorta a mix of lime jello, cream cheese and pineapple tidbits. it’s coms togeather in such a way that it looks like spme kind of bathroommat or moldy sponge.
Tastes great though, would always recommend. I do believe that exploring new things like a traditional dish is worth looking into. so don’t let an unusual combination ingredients or a slightly off color look put you off of trying a food made with love in mind.
My family (kinda not-quite-northern MN) uses key lime, mini marshmallows, wanna say cool whip, and usually mandarin oranges, but that’s a hit. And someone always brings a whole slow cooker full of meatballs that have been marinaded in there with grape jelly and possibly chili sauce (just the sauce). Those 2 things are so awesome and the meatballs are easy to cook
Chicken breast in a slow cooker full of salsa works well too. Or get one of those birria bombs (it’s like a bath bomb but spices), a pork loin and some Mexican beer (Corona or Modelo is fine, something in that general style), all in the slow cooker, come back half a day later.
If you’ve never tried, def give grape jelly+chili sauce a shot! There are a bajillion recipes floating around if you google (recipes, like ratios of grape to chili sauce), but I’ve made that for myself and the grape somehow makes it pop. It’s just good lol
My mom made this but layered it with plain red jello. The lime jello just had pineapple, and the cream cheese was a layer between the red and green jello. I think that’s right, its been a long time since I’ve had some. Definitely layered with red jello, had to set before the next layer.

Meatballs in a slowcooker full of bbq sauce is the ultimate in potluck cuisine. I sometimes make that shit just for myself
