Any tips for making a jello salad?

So my father-in-law has requested some type of jello salad for a Thanksgiving side dish, one with carrots and canned fruit.
I HATE jello salad (I don't even like jello), and had hoped that the art of making these disgusting things had died with my grandmother. (She always seemed to have some type of jello/fruit/something white in her 'fridge.) But I love my FIL and he may not have many more Thanksgivings with us, so I'll make this for him. If he asked for a triple-layer cheesecake, I'd probably make it, but at least I'd enjoy that.
I found a couple of recipes and will probably keep it simple with just this:
lemon or orange jello
shredded carrots
crushed canned pineapple.
Any other suggestions? I guess a glass casserole dish would work since I don't have any pretty plastic molds? TIA!

That is fricked up. You gonna make orange jello with carrots in it? There's more than just a few things wrong with that.

Here's one my grandmother used to make for one holiday or another. I make it for Thanksgiving. I happen to like it. Reminds me of her, but I also still like the pineapple slice or peach half on the lettuce leaf with the cream cheese mixture dolloped on top covered with chopped pecans and, sometimes, even a bit of shredded sharp cheddar. I also like a good aspic.
You FIL may well like this because I know it's darn old. You, on the other hand, probably will look at the recipe, think it looks nasty (because it does) and not like it all.
1 pt whipping cream, whipped
Chop together-1 can Royal Anne white cherries,1 large can sliced pineapple, 1 pint bottle red cherries (reserve the juice)
½ lb marshmallows
1 c pecans (probably chopped a bit)
2 envelopes Knox gelatin
4 T Durkee’s
Soak gelatin in the red cherry juice. Season whipped cream with Durkee’s. Add to fruit, nuts and gelatin.
Refrigerate until serving.

Glassman's got a kick arse recipe. Ask him.
