SUNSET SALAD

"From start-up to serve-down, Sunset Salad is ready in about an hour. Made from pineapple, carrots and Jell-O Lemon Gelatin it's a perfect accompaniment for any dish."

Drain pineapple, reserving juice. Add water to juice to make 3/4 cup and bring to a boil. Combine measured liquid, gelatin and salt in electric blender container. Cover and blend at low speed until gelatin is dissolved, about 1 minute. Add ice and lemon juice; cover and blend at high speed until ice is melted, about 30 seconds.
