Lemon-Pineapple Gelatin Salad

This is so refreshing and tasty!  I love the pineapple bits on the bottom of it and the creaminess of the cream cheese and whipped topping, plus the tanginess of the lemon and all.  Really, really good! This sure is a family favorite! Enjoy!

-3 Tbs lemon juice
-3 Tbs water

Directions:
Drain the pineapple, really well.  Reserve the juice and set aside.
Dissolve lemon gelatin in boiling water.  Add drained pineapple and mix well.  Pour into 9x13 in dish.  Chill in the fridge for about 1 hour or until set.
Meanwhile, beat the cream cheese and whipped topping until smooth.  Spread over set gelatin.  Return to the fridge for about 30-45 minutes.
