  • Be sure to let the gelatin salad chill for at least 4 hours, or overnight, before serving. This will allow the gelatin to set properly.
  • Garnish the gelatin salad with fresh cranberries, whipped cream, or chopped nuts before serving.
  • For a fun and festive twist, try making the gelatin salad in individual molds. This is a great way to serve the salad at a party or potluck.
