Jell-O might be the ultimate vintage ingredient, and the Sea Breeze Salad is a throwback  recipe that celebrates that. Refrigerators were still quite expensive up until World War II, so refrigeration-based recipes, like Jell-O salads, were still the ultimate status symbol. I especially love the bright yellow coloring with this recipe because it looks so pretty and cheery when I put it on the table.

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, dissolve the Jell-O mixes in the boiling water. Add the cold water and mix well. Chill according to the package instructions until thickened.
  2. Stir the lemon pie filling or prepared lemon pudding into the thickened Jell-O and whip using a whisk or hand mixer until blended. Reserve 1 cup of the mixture.
  3. Stir the pineapple into the remaining Jell-O mixture.
  4. Pour into a 9 × 13-inch glass dish or decorative bowl.  Refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours, until set.
  5. Fold the reserved 1 cup Jell-O mixture into the whipped cream. Spread the mixture evenly over the Jell-O.
  6. Chill for 1 hour or until set. Serve.
