I made this for Christmas 2021. Instead of a dollop of dressing, I covered it with the dressing and put green sugar sprinkles on top. This is NOT the Jello Salad your great grandma made!
12-02-15~ Wonderful salad! The one change I made to this recipe was to use the mandarin orange juice in place of the cold water. Figured there was no sense wasting the juice. It turned out perfect and we all loved the taste of the two fruits included in the dish. We are big fans of gelatin dishes, so I know we will be having this one again.
This is very similar to a dish my mom would make a lot for holidays. She would use pineapple instead of grapefruit and top with marshmallows and cheddar cheese. I really liked this version with grapefruit!
