The name stuck and it has been known as Green Glick in our family for well over 35 years.Īfter Nana passed away, I assumed the role of making the Green Glick. I absolutely loved it!! I didn’t know the name of the dish so to be funny, I called it “Green Glick”. Like your husband’s, my grandmother (we called her Nana) made this dish every Thanksgiving and Christmas for as long as I can remember. Thanks if you can point me in the right direction of finding these forgotten yummies my grandma would make. Really pretty & great with turkey sandwich the next day! MY FAVORITE! Do you know what I’m talking about?Īnd another is- she would take fresh cranberries and grind them in the meat grinder (by hand) with oranges and walnuts from our tree and make a relish-salad and on the side would be a mixture of (I think) mayo, Sr cream, sugar and a drop lemon juice? Mixed together and a smidge on top of the relish. She called it: Cherry Berries on a Cloud- the base was a crunchy eggwhite and sugar crust like blob that she baked on a cookie sheet very low then covered with cherry pie filling and fresh strawberries on top and covered with fresh whip cream & more fruit. There are a couple of good ones I can’t find or were written in pencil. I have a hard time getting recipes from her. The tradition and dishes all live on for my children to keep alive and going. She is still alive (94) and passed me the torch with confidence almost 25 years ago when I started my family. My grandmother was an amazing self taught cook & caterer/hostess to all, and even if you’re not hungry…you still went home with a plate for when you get hungry. It’s a summer time lunch on top of really crisp iceberg lettuce. But it’s not just a holiday treat in my family. For reference, I always use sugar free Jell-O and light Cool Whip when I make this recipe.I agree with your husband on grandma’s green hello salad. You can certainly use low fat cottage cheese, sugar free Jell-O mix, and fat free/sugar free/light Cool Whip to lighten up this recipe! It STILL tastes delicious and the texture is still great too.Trust me– I've made this mistake enough times to know! Otherwise, you'll have chunks of Jell-O powder throughout the salad. The Jell-O powder must be added directly to the cottage cheese before the Cool Whip is added.
