Made for nearly every major holiday, the only thing we change up is the flavor of jello we use and sometimes the fruit. This is such a fun salad, definitely more of a dessert than a “salad” but super yummy just the same. The kids just adore it!
Cherry Dream Salad
- 1 pkg. cherry jello (or any other flavor)
- 2 cans crushed pineapple
- 1-2 cans mandarin oranges, drained
- 1 container whipped cream
- 1 pkg. marshmallows (we use the colorful ones for fun, the white when we’re being “formal”)
In a big bowl, dump the crushed pineapple WITH the juice (don’t drain it!!). Dump the jello in with the pineapple. Stir the entire thing until it’s thickened. Fold in whipped cream and stir well.
Add in the mandarin oranges and stir. Add marshmallows. Put in the fridge to chill for at least 2 hours before serving.
Honestly for most dinner parties with more than 6 members, I have to double this recipe or we run out really fast, believe it or not.
