I just love reading your stories. They make me so happy. Makes you realize the simple things in life are what matter the most. I have never had this version, but I will make it soon. I’m from the North so my mama always made it with cottage cheese. I remember eating it at family reunions when I was a kid.

Why don’t you get started on your blog by sending us that cranberry salad that you use at Thanksgiving. Good luck on your venture. Hope I get to enjoy it.

Hi Christy,
Your menu looks wonderful! I have to tell you that I’ve made the Congeal Salad for years, since I got the recipe from a sweet friend at church in GA where we were living. Everyone has loved it since. I do add a cup of crushed pecans, and that is wonderful with the other ingredients.

Merry Christmas to you and yours…and the Best Blessings for a New Year.

We make something very similar, except we use cottage cheese instead of buttermilk! One of my favorites!

You just made my Christmas with this recipe. My grandmother made buttermilk salad every year for Christmas and Thanksgiving and I loved the stuff. I was just thinking about it when your recipe popped up in my Google Reader. The only difference was she would use the orange gelatin and add pecans. Thanks for sharing!

This is a staple at my family’s holiday gatherings. My grandmother, 91 years young, always makes this with lime or apricot jello, but I like it with orange jello. She always adds chopped pecans to it too. So yummy!
