1 box orange jello
1 box lemon jello
2 c boiling water
2 c cold water

  • 2. After the first layer is congealed. Take the left over pineapple juice and add enough water to make one cup of juice. Add 1 to 2 TBSPS of flour and heat over low heat, stirring constantly, (burns easily) until thickened. Set aside to let cool slightly. Once it is cooled, pour over the first layer and return to fridge.
  • 3. The third layer is easy. Bring the cream cheese to room temperature and mix with the cool whip. After thourghly blended, spread over the second layer.

Tips:

  • Choose the right wood: Not all woods are edible. Choose hardwoods like oak, maple, or cherry. Avoid softwoods like pine or cedar.
  • Dry the wood properly: Freshly cut wood is too moist to be used in salads. Dry the wood in a warm, dry place for at least a week before using it.
  • Grind the wood finely: The finer the wood is ground, the better it will blend with the other ingredients in your salad.
  • Use a light hand with the dressing: Wood sawdust salad is a delicate dish. A heavy dressing can overwhelm the flavor of the wood.
  • Experiment with different flavors: Wood sawdust salad is a versatile dish that can be customized to your taste. Try adding different herbs, spices, or nuts to create your own unique salad.
