Different Options:
This is how I like to eat this salad the most; the orange dressing is the best part. If you want to change things a bit with your favorite, you can give it a new twist! The raspberry, cherry, and strawberry flavors are all very tasty. Include a fruit that goes well with the salad, like nuts or coconut flakes for crunchiness, and add small colorful marshmallows for a pop of rainbow color.
Ingredients:
1 pack of orange gelatin
1 packet of quick vanilla pudding
1 cup of hot water
Half a cup of cold water
1 container of whipped cream (8 ounces)
Can of Mandarin oranges (14 ounces, without juice)
Between three-fourths and one cup of small marshmallows.
Instructions:
First, take a medium-sized bowl and put the orange gelatin in it. Pour one cup of hot water over it and mix well. Ensuring the jelly is well mixed.
Next, pour half a cup of cold water and mix. Put your gelatin in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
After your gelatin has cooled a bit in the refrigerator, use a hand mixer to mix in the vanilla pudding until it is smooth. Put it back in the refrigerator and let it thicken for 20 minutes.
Take out your orange gelatin mix from the refrigerator and mix in the mandarin oranges and small marshmallows. After mixing, gently add your 8-ounce container of whipped topping.
Put it back in the refrigerator until you are ready to serve.
Have fun with your friends!
