My favorite uses a large box of orange jello, about 2 - 3 cups of shredded carrots, a can of crushed pineapple in syrup and a cup of chopped toasted pecans. Make the jello with the boiling water per package directions. Pour into a bowl to set up and thicken. Do not add the cold water, but instead, use the pineapple and syrup. I put my can of pineapple in the freezer for about an hour before I begin. When the jello thickens a bit, add the carrots and nuts to the orange pineapple mixture. Chill thoroughly for 2 or more hours before serving. Makes a nice light and refreshing summer side salad.
