Fruit-Nut Gelatin Salad image

I have made this many times. An old-fashioned molded gelatin salad with the unusual and tasty combination of orange gelatin, pineapple, cream cheese, pimento, celery, walnuts, etc. This particular recipe doesn't call for marshmallows, but you could always add some if you like.

I'm not a big fan of gelatin salads, but this one is really good. It's not too sweet and the fruits and nuts add a nice crunch.
