Just the Recipe Lime Jello Salad

One interesting thing I noticed while going through my Grandma’s recipes. Over time, especially in the past 15 years, companies have reduced the sizes of products. Example: The “typical” can of tuna that was 6.5 ounces in Grandma’s day, is either 5 or 5.5 ounces now. Hence why I use my sister site to post just the recipe, so I can make allowances for any changes or substitutions needed to account for modern adjustments to measurements and food availability.

Grandma’s 1950’s Tuna Salad

This was a common lunch served from her mid-century galley kitchen. Always with a side of veggies, generally green beans or a salad. Pop wasn’t allowed at her table, no ma’am. We drank a big frosty glass of milk and another glass of water with every meal.
