RUBY RED LAYERED SALAD



Ruby Red Layered Salad image

This is another Jello salad but one that I must make for Thanksgiving and Christmas or anytime that we have roast turkey. I going to provide the recipe as I found it. But as we are diabetic, I make the cranberry sauce from scratch so that I can control the sugar and I use sugar free jello as well. I only posting so that I do not lose the recipe, I got the recipe from the internet some years ago so I can not tell you what site the recipe came from for sure. I also did not copy the serving sizes and how much the recipe makes so I have guessed from my own experience. If I am off greatly, I am sorry.
