GRANDMA MAX'S LAYERED JELLO SALAD

This is one of my favourite memories from going to my Grandma's house. She would make this every Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday and there were hardly any leftovers. My Grandma passed away in 2003 and now her recipe has become a staple in my house during those occasions. I hope you enjoy it has much as my family does!

Steps:

  • Prepare the cherry jello powder according to the directions on the package in a glass mixing bowl. Put it in the fridge and let it set.
  • Once set, prepare the dream whip according to the package and cut the cream cheese into small chunks, (if you're not a fan of chunks, you could whip it all together). Mix the cream cheese into the dream whip and layer it on top of the cherry jello. Let it set in the fridge.
  • *You could save yourself time if you do step 1 and step 2 together and let both set in the fridge at the same time.*.
  • Drain the crushed pineapple and rinse with cold water approximately 3-4 times to remove most of the acidic juice. Make sure to squeeze out the excess water with your hands.
  • Make the lemon jello powder according to directions and let it partially set.
  • Mix the pineapple into the lemon jello and layer over top of the dream whip mixture.
  • Let set in the fridge and serve. (For the best results, put saran wrap over the salad and let it set overnight).
  • Note: The dream whip should be one of the small envelopes.

GRANDMA'S JELLO SALAD (STRAWBERRY)

This dessert/salad brings back such fond feelings. This is the recipe my grandmother served the kids 2-3 times a year when we were all together. After she died no one could find her recipe for this. I guess that is what the internet is for! When I surprised the family with this recipe at Christmas dinner, both my aunt AND uncle cried. I hope your family enjoys this dessert as much as mine has.

GRANDMA'S JELLO SALAD

When ever I serve this dish I get rave reviews. My grandma used to make this for our holiday meals; it was the only thing that NEVER had leftovers. When most people hear the ingredients. they are often skeptical until they try it. So far it has won over everyone that has tried it. It is so simple to make that you can have it any night. Prep time is time to combine items and cook time is time to chill. Servings are approx.
