The salad that my Mon used to call "Perfection Salad" was orange jello, carrots, and pineapple. I don't think she had a recipe as such, but she used one or two packages of orange jello or maybe one of orange and one of lemon, a can of crushed pineapple (drained) and carrots she ground in an old fashioned grinder. This was then cut in squares and served on a leaf of lettuce with a dolop of mayonaise on top. I later named it "Sunday Salad" because we had it almost every Sunday. Hope this helps.
