For Betty in ME: Since I am unsure what was in the Jell-O salad you had, I am sending in 3 different ones that could possibly be what you are looking for. Was the one you had congealed or not? Anyway, here are 3 recipes, hopefully one of them will trigger your memory of what one in the one you had. You can make all of them more diabetic friendly by using sugar free Jell-O, no sugar added pineapple and sugar free Cool Whip/
