For a richer flavor, try using vanilla Greek yogurt in place of some of the whipped topping. Feel free to experiment with different gelatin flavors to customize the salad to your liking. Toasted pecans or almonds can be substituted for walnuts for a different nutty flavor. If you don't have a mold, a 9x13 inch baking dish works perfectly. Ensure the whipped topping is fully thawed before mixing to avoid lumps. Drain the pineapple well if you prefer a less juicy salad.
