This sounds quirky, but Grandma used to make it when I was little and it is really good. The celery and pecans give it texture.

Tasty. I used less grated carrots and substituted diced apple for some of the celery since hubby isn't as crazy about celery as I am. Nice cool dish for this hot weather. I would like to try mandarin oranges next time. Used sugar free jello. The reason I cut down the amount of carrot is that I thought it was getting too full for the amount of liquid. Read More
