Cranberry Jello Salad is made with cherry Jello, whole cranberries, pecans, and crushed pineapple. It's a favorite congealed salad to serve as a holiday side dish!

In a mixing bowl, stir both boxes of gelatin with 1 cup of boiling water until well blended.

Pour in a can of whole cranberry sauce and crushed pineapple (drained).

Whisk together and transfer gelatin mixture to a 13 x 9 decorative dish or Jello mold if desired.

Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until gelatin congeals.

The tropical burst of pineapple infuses this creamy, crunchy cherry or lime congealed salad. It has chunks of cream cheese, pecans, and crunchy celery bits. You can mold it into any form or serve it from a dish.

My easy jello salad is made with strawberry jello mix to get a light, fluffy, and creamy texture. All made in just 5 minutes!

Easy Jello Salad

strawberry jello)

container (16 ounces cottage cheese)

(15 ounces crushed pineapple, drained)

whip (thawed)

strawberries (for garnish)

Place the cottage cheese in a food processor and pulse it until it becomes smooth and creamy. This step is optional, but I find it gives the jello salad a nice texture, especially for those who aren&#39;t a fan of chunky cottage cheese.

In a large bowl, stir together the strawberry jello and cottage cheese. Next, add the crushed pineapple and stir to combine. 

Add the cool whip and gently fold it into the cottage cheese mixture– you don’t want to deflate the cool whip too much, so make sure to stir gently. 

If you have time, allowing the jello salad to rest in the fridge before serving will help the flavors meld, but if you’re in a rush, serve it as is. 

Garnish with sliced strawberries, and enjoy. 

Orange Creamsicle Salad is a classic Southern congealed salad made with orange gelatin, instant vanilla pudding, whipped topping, mandarin oranges, and marshmallows for a light, creamy side dish.

Orange Creamsicle Salad

orange gelatin (Jell-O recommended)

vanilla pudding mix

whipped topping (Cool Whip, thawed)

oranges

½ cups mini marshmallows

In a large mixing bowl, stir together the orange gelatin and 1 cup of boiling water until completely dissolved. Add 1 cup of cold water and stir again to combine.

Place the bowl in the refrigerator for about 15 to 20 minutes, until slightly thickened but not fully set. The mixture should be beginning to gel but still soft enough to whisk.
