Seafoam salad

Okay kiddo, so seafoam salad is a yummy dish we can make that's kinda like jello, but with some added ingredients. First, we take a package of lime jello (you know, the green stuff that jiggles!). We mix it up with some hot water until the jello crystals dissolve, and then we add in some cold water and let it cool for a bit.

Next, we add in some other ingredients like whipped cream, cottage cheese, and pineapple chunks (which are like little pieces of sweet fruit!). We mix everything together really well until it's all combined.

Now, the fun part. We pour the mixture into a mold. A mold is a shape that we put the mixture in so it sets in that shape. Think of it like making a puzzle. We choose what shape we want the salad to be, and then we pour in the mixture.

We put the mold in the fridge for a few hours to let it set and become firm. After that, we take it out of the fridge, and carefully remove it from the mold (like taking the puzzle pieces out of the box!).

Before we serve it, we can add some toppings like cherries, nuts, or more whipped cream. Then, we can enjoy our seafoam salad - a delicious and fun dessert that's perfect for summertime!
