Actually really good! I layered the ingredients instead of mixing them all together because the thought of an occasional crunchy walnut in the middle gave me the ick. I finely chopped the walnuts and added them last so you would know you were getting a crunchy element—that helped.

Now that’s an abomination lol
Please could you describe the flavor? Also what do you eat this with? Crackers? Alone?
I’m very curious and maybe-more-than-mildly dubious.
Haha I love this
My MIL made similar pineapple cheese jello salad. She used velveeta in tiny cubes. It tastes like cheesecake ish.
A old work friend, many many years ago made a cheese pineapple salad but it was more like a ambrosia kind of thing. Heavy cream with a beaten egg in a double broiler to thicken, stir in the grated cheddar, pineapple, I think mini marshmallows too. Stirred up and served cold. It was so good. I have always looked for it.
Oh, no thank you.
The 1960’s were so WEIRD.
Salad?! I have a very different view as to what constitutes a salad.
Yep, jr and sr high homemaking classes.
Wtf lol
Hey, I have those plates.
I’m new to this subreddit. Are gelatin mold salads not common here? They were ubiquitous in the midcentury, to such a point that they’re often the emblem of home cooking from that time period, but a ton of commenters are responding to this as though it’s a crazy thing they’re never heard of.
I would have imagined there would be tons of these being made by old recipes enthusiasts, they definitely were a typical feature on old vintage cooking blogs and similar venues.
And that’s only the first of the congealed pineapple salads!
I want to see dylan hollis make this lol
Pretty! Bet it was interestingly tasty.
You had me at cheese.
I’m gonna have to brave it sometime. The pimentos are what I’m having a hard time with. Do they really do anything for the flavor or would omitting them work? I’m asking for flavor purposes, I know I can omit them.
Pineapple cheese casserole is a mainstay at good old southern restaurants around here. Usually offered as a side dish, it’s really good! Some kind of canned pineapple and cheese concoction, melted and thickened, then you’re with crushed crackers or cornflakes and baked crispy.
