Citrus Jell-O Salad

Ingredients:

  • 1 package (3 ounces) orange-flavored Jell-O®
  • 1 package (3 ounces) lemon-flavored Jell-O®
  • 2 cups water (boiling)
  • 1 can (11 ounces) mandarin oranges, drained
  • 1 can (8 ounces) crushed pineapple, drained
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows
  • 1 cup whipped topping
  • Optional: Fresh citrus slices for garnish

Instructions:

  1. In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the orange-flavored Jell-O® in 1 cup of boiling water, stirring until completely dissolved.
  2. Do the same with the lemon-flavored Jell-O® in another bowl, using the other cup of boiling water.
  3. Let both bowls cool down a bit—no one likes a hot Jell-O mess!
  4. Add the mandarin oranges, crushed pineapple, and mini marshmallows to the orange Jell-O® mixture. Stir gently, so you don’t break the fruit party.
  5. Pour the orange mixture into a mold or serving dish and pop it in the fridge until set, about 4 hours (or until it’s firm enough to dance on its own).
  6. Once the orange layer is set, carefully top it with the lemon Jell-O® mixture. Again, let it chill until fully set (another 4 hours should do it!)
  7. When ready to serve, whip the topping and spread it over the top of your glorious Jell-O creation.
  8. Garnish with fresh citrus slices, if you’re feeling fancy—a little zest never hurt anyone!

Now you have a Citrus Jell-O® Salad that’s bright, cheerful, and ready to steal the spotlight at any occasion. Get those forks ready; it’s time to dig in! Enjoy!
