ORANGE BUTTERMILK JELLO SALAD

This is a favorite from my childhood. I always use orange jello, cause it's the way mom made it. But you could easily substitute other flavors. Very low fat if you use fat free coolwhip. Keeps well for days, and is great to bring for potlucks. Can be made in a pretty jello mold or just in a bowl and scooped with a spoon.

Tips:

  • Choose the right jello flavor: The flavor of the jello is the most important factor in determining the overall taste of the salad. Choose a flavor that you enjoy and that will complement the other ingredients in the salad.
  • Use fresh fruit: Fresh fruit adds a burst of flavor and color to the salad. Choose fruits that are in season and that are ripe.
  • Don't overcook the tapioca pearls: Tapioca pearls should be cooked until they are soft and translucent, but not mushy. Overcooked tapioca pearls will make the salad gummy.
