Categories     Easy Side Dishes

Time 4h10m

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 cups water
6 oz Orange Jello Mix
3 ounce instant vanilla pudding
11 ounce can Mandarin oranges, drained
1/2 of a 20 ounce can of Pineapple chunks, drained
One 8 ounce container cool whip

Steps:

  • Mix together 4 cups of water, orange jello mix, and vanilla pudding mix in a sauce pan. Bring to a boil, stirring the whole time to keep clumps from forming. Once it starts to boil, remove from heat. Pour into a heat-resistant container (I usually use a glass baking dish), cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for about four hours. Remove from fridge and break up the jello into chunks. Place in a large bowl. Add in the pineapple, mandarin oranges, and whipped cream and mix around until everything is combined. Keep refrigerated until you are ready to serve.

Tips:

  • Zest the oranges before you juice them. The zest of the oranges will add a lot of flavor to your salad. Be sure to zest the oranges before you juice them, so you don't lose any of the zest.
  • Use a good quality gelatin. The quality of your gelatin will affect the texture of your salad. Be sure to use a good quality gelatin that will set properly.
  • Chill the salad before serving. Chilling the salad will help it to set properly and will also make it more refreshing.
  • Serve the salad with your favorite toppings. You can serve the salad with a variety of toppings, such as whipped cream, fruit, or nuts.

Conclusion:

Mandarin orange gelatin salad is a refreshing and delicious salad that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With its vibrant color and sweet and tangy flavor, mandarin orange gelatin salad is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
