I told my friend that I’d stumbled upon your website and was so excited to see 
Old Cafeteria recipes! TY for posting the cheese enchilada recipe. I’m pretty sure 
that is the one that was used in Chula Vista City Schools (near LA) in the 50’s.  
I remember all those flavors and can’t wait to give it a try.

My friend, Lynn, spoke about a favorite salad from her childhood that her mother 
made in the 50’s or 60’s.  She has searched and nothing came up quite like what 
she described.  Will you please put on your detective hat and give it a try?  
I’m sure the jello flavors are at the discretion of the chef.

for the jello mold:  orange jello, i think softened vanilla ice cream, maybe
cottage cheese and maybe pineapple pieces.  Maybe even cream cheese.   
my mom used a mixer.  The consistency was kinda spongy      thanks

Thank you, Phaedrus!

Hi Mary,

The lack of certainty in the description you give of this Jello salad dish makes this a very difficult task. However, I did find a recipe with a photo that seems to fit.

See this site: Creamsicle Jello Mold
