Yield 10 portions

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 small package orange flavored gelatin*
1 small package lemon flavored gelatin*
2 1/2 cups boiling water
1 small can pineapple bits with juice
1/2 cup toasted, chopped pecans
1 can whole cranberry sauce

Steps:

  • Sprinkle the gelatins in a 9 by 13 glass-baking dish and slowly stir in the boiling water. Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate approximately 30 minutes or just until gelatin begins to set. (If the gelatin sets, you won't be able to stir in the goodies.)
  • Meanwhile, in a medium size bowl, combine the canned pineapple and its juice, with the pecans and the whole cranberry sauce. Add mixture to slightly thickened gelatin and stir until thoroughly combined. Return to refrigerator until firmly set. Cover with plastic wrap until ready to serve.
  • *Don't substitute with low-sugar or sugar-free. Neither will set properly.

This salad is a healthy and refreshing alternative to traditional holiday dishes. It's packed with fruits and vegetables, and the dressing is made with yogurt instead of mayonnaise.

I'm not usually a fan of congealed salads, but this one is an exception. The flavors are so well-balanced, and the texture is surprisingly light and fluffy. I'll definitely be making this again.
