I used grape jello, raspberry sorbet and sliced green grapes. It turned out great!
11.28.20 … https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/132465/orange-sherbet-salad/ … ‘Thought something orange on the table would be pretty for Thanksgiving. It was, kinda. The real orange & orange sherbet orange didn’t really get along visually. Pretty good tasting, but not repeatable here.
I made as stated and used the juice from oranges. Also made it with strawberries but my favorite is with juice of 2 or 3 lemons and added zest as well. Made all with vanilla ice cream. The lemon is perfect on a hot summer day. Very refreshing.
Loved this! I made it with vanilla ice cream instead of sherbet and added pineapple tidbits as well. Yum
I made changes, with the goal to have the Dreamsicle flavor we like, for my granddaughter’s graduation party. I used the drained mandarin orange juice, plus regular orange juice, in place of the plain water, to give it a stronger orange flavor, as I replaced orange sherbet with vanilla ice cream. It did the trick! I’ll be making it again for a different occasion this week, but will stick to the original recipe.
I added The zest of an orange for added flavor!
Not a good recipe. Very strong orange taste the the consistency is rubbery.
I made this following directions made no changes. My husband and I both loved it. Will make this again .
THE most refreshing Jello salad I’ve ever tasted!!
This is a big hit every year. My kids can’t get enough.
I love this salad….it’s been an old standby for me. I get compliments every time I serve it. Just to pretty it up a bit I add some chopped/drained maraschino cherries to the mix. Thanks, Tara Holt for submitting an old time favorite!!
Delicious – but we love things made with gelatin. I wanted to use up a partial carton of orange sherbet and this hit the spot. I chose to put in individual glasses rather than a mold. I would make this again.
Spray Pam into mold before putting jello in.
The hello was great, the addition of oranges was a distraction. I acknowledge the quality of oranges maybe to blame.
Great flavor and color. It was a hit with my whole family. And sooo easy!
Altho we enjoyed the rich flavor, mine came out a little “firm”. Next time I may add a little more sherbet.
Some of the family loved this, others not so much. Not sure I will make it again. I have another similar recipe that has whipped cream in it that the whole family likes.
Not bad. Not great. Would have liked if there were more mandarin oranges in it. I won’t make it again.

We absolutely loved this recipe. My husband requests it often.
We’ve been making this recipe every Easter and Thanksgiving for at least thirty years. First we drain the juice from the can of mandarin oranges, then add water to that to equal two cups. Wonderful, classic, pretty!
