Orange Jello Salad

This salad is sweet and tangy and for some reason, works beautifully as a side at holiday dinners. It’s especially a hit with the kids (big and little!)

Orange Jello Salad

Yield: 6-8

Prep time: 10 MinTotal time: 10 Min

Well, here's a throwback it there ever was one: jello salad! Different than the typical ones from the 70's, this isn't filled with creams. It's become a "must have" at holiday dinners in our house.

Ingredients

185 g (about 2 packages) orange Jello powder
1 ½ cups (375ml) boiling water
370 ml (about 12 ½ ounce tin) frozen Minute Maid orange juice, undiluted.
591 ml (2 x 10 ounce/284ml) jar mandarin oranges, drained (don't throw juice away!)
⅔ cup (150 ml) mandarin orange juice

Instructions

Dissolve jello in water. Add orange juice and stir well until blended. Add mandarins and juice. Pour in to a very slightly oiled mold and refrigerate over night. (I use a silicone mold and don't oil)

Notes

Anthology Notes: Let the mixture sit in a bowl in the fridge and store once or twice before putting it in the mold so that the oranges get mixed in and don't fall to the bottom.
