This is a variation on the traditional cranberry/pineapple salad; red and green layers with a cream cheese layer in between. My mom makes this at Christmas and/or Thanksgiving and I can't stop eating it. Would be good for potlucks, too. Yum!

JELLO HOLIDAY SALAD

Jello Holiday Salad image

Here's a recipe I used to make a lot for big family gatherings at Thanksgiving or Christmas. Could be served any time you want a cool, refreshing salad with the flavors of raspberries and cranberries and the creaminess of sour cream. From a church fund raiser cookbook, around 1984. Passive cooking time is a guesstimate for the chilling time required. (It's been a long time since I made this...)

Tips:

Choose the right Jell-O flavors: Choose flavors that complement each other and the other ingredients in your salad/dessert. Some popular combinations include cherry and pineapple, lemon and lime, and strawberry and raspberry.
Use fresh, ripe fruit: Fresh fruit will give your salad/dessert the best flavor and texture. Avoid using canned or frozen fruit, as it can be mushy and lack flavor.
Don't overmix the salad/dessert: Overmixing can cause the Jell-O to become tough and rubbery. Mix the salad/dessert just until the ingredients are combined.
Chill the salad/dessert thoroughly before serving: This will help the Jell-O to set properly and give it a firm texture.
Garnish the salad/dessert with whipped cream, fruit, or nuts: This will add a touch of elegance and make your salad/dessert even more delicious.

Conclusion:

Jello salad/dessert is a classic holiday treat that is easy to make and loved by people of all ages. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and festive salad/dessert that will be the star of your holiday table.
