At least I didn't put the lima in the coconut

It's hot enough to melt a Nazi's face off, so today I'm going for an all-salad menu selected from the Betty Crocker's Salads (1977) section of the Betty Crocker's 4 in 1 Cookbook Collection (1980).

We'll need a main course, so how about a cold version of meatloaf? 

No, I'm not talking cold meatloaf sandwiches. This is a salad menu! It's everyone's favorite '70s salad variation (gelatin!) mixed with everyone's favorite smelly meat-based goop their dad used to eat out of a tube (braunschweiger!). What could possibly go wrong? (Answer: Someone actually tries to consume it.)

We'll need a starchy side, so macaroni salad should fit the bill. 

I hope you like crushed pineapple and maraschino cherries with your macaroni, cheese, celery, and mayo because that's what you're getting. 

Now we need a vegetable-based salad, maybe livened up with some citrus. 

No, that's not Lemon-Lime Salad. It's Lemon-Lima. As in lima beans. With lemonade concentrate. And horseradish. Because... reasons? Maybe just throw on some pomegranate seeds for luck and hope nobody will ask questions. 

And for dessert, I hope you like pineapple. Yeah, I picked another pineapple-based recipe, but this one is way different from the macaroni salad. 

It has pickled beets, coconut flakes, and miniature marshmallows. As one does. If one is... well... chasing the miniature marshmallow dragon?

Have a happy mid-summer weekend! If yours involves lemonade, please use it responsibly.
