Tips:

  • Choose the right gelatin: Unflavored gelatin is the best choice for this salad because it allows you to control the sweetness and flavor. You can also use flavored gelatin, but be sure to adjust the amount of sugar you add.
  • Use fresh fruit: Fresh fruit will give your salad the best flavor and texture. If you're using canned fruit, be sure to drain it well before adding it to the salad.
  • Chill the salad thoroughly: The salad needs to be chilled for at least 4 hours, or overnight, before serving. This will allow the gelatin to set and the flavors to meld.
  • Garnish the salad before serving: A few fresh berries or a sprinkle of chopped nuts will add a nice finishing touch to your salad.
