Hi all! New to the board, and happened across this topic. I have quite a few Jello salad/dessert recipes, if you are still interested. Unfortunately, it is now after the holidays when they could have been used!
Growing up, our main 'jello salad' was lime or orange jello, with drained crushed pineapple (if we had it in the pantry), shredded cabbage and carrot. Simple enough, but good for some odd reason.
Then my ex MIL handed down lots of Jello salads that she took to church suppers and I thought I'd died and gone to heaven - who knew you could put cream cheese, cool whip, puddings, and such in Jello???? LOL
Some of them are sweet enough to use as desserts, so we could never decide whether they were to go on the salad table or the dessert table, but we never brought any home! And a family reunion or get together wasn't complete without at least 2 of them somewhere in a big bowl.
If anyone is still interested, please let me know, I'll be glad to post some recipes for you.
