Remove mold from refrigerator and prepare second layer. Dissolve lime gelatin in boiling pineapple juice. Add crushed pineapple and avocado. Spread over first layer and place in refrigerator to chill.

Serving Suggestion:

A variant of this salad is to combine all ingredients together and pour into a mold to chill.

History:
My mother prepared a gelatin salad that had pineapple, cottage cheese and avocado molded inside. I never found the actual recipe that mother used as she doesn’t remember it, however, this recipe seems to capture the taste contained in that childhood memory.
