Recipe of the Week - Orange Dreamsicle Salad


 I came upon this recipe on YouTube from one of my subscriptions.  I thought I would give it a try because it sounded like something I would enjoy.  And I was right!  I made it for my Sunday dinner and really liked it.  It's the perfect side dish for warmer weather.  You can also use it as a dessert.  It's pretty quick and easy to put together as well, which is always a plus.  I hope you enjoy!

Orange Dreamsicle Salad

3 oz box of orange jello

1 cup of boiling water

1/2 cup of cold water

1 small box of instant vanilla pudding

1 15 oz can of mandarin oranges, drained

1 20 oz can of crushed pineapple, drained

1 8 oz carton of cool whip or 8 oz of whipped cream

Dissolve jello in boiling water in your mixing bowl.  Once it's thoroughly dissolved, add cold water and stir.  Place in the fridge for 20 minutes.  The jello will not set but will begin to gel some.  Remove the jello from the fridge and stir in the pudding mix until well blended.  Fold in the drained fruit.  Fold in cool whip until well combined.  Transfer to your serving bowl.  Place back into the fridge for a few hours to let it firm up.  Serve chilled.
