Salads
7up Salad
For a fun and unique side dish, you need to try this 7up salad! Made with soda mixed into the pineapple gelatin layer, it has a fun fizzy taste. The topping is to die for. It's like a delicious and light homemade pineapple pudding. Top the whole thing with a sprinkling of cheddar cheese..... and you will not believe the awesome combination of flavors! This reminds me of my childhood and Thanksgiving dinners. 7up Salad was often on the menu and was like a dessert along with the meal - even before the pies came out!
Pistachio Salad
For a fun side dish, give this Pistachio Salad a try. It comes together in under five minutes and is always a favorite at events with family and friends. It's a great salad to serve at holidays because of its fun green color. A little fruity, a little nutty, and super creamy!
Raspberry Jello Salad
Another delicious Jello salad from my Grandma..... this could be my favorite yet! Raspberries, bananas, pineapple, and a delicious layer of sour cream. Not only is it yummy, but it's so pretty, don't you think? It can be served all year long, but I'm thinking it would be especially pretty for a Christmas meal.
Autumn Jello Salad
The colors of his salad are red, orange and yellow, so we decided to call it Autumn Jello Salad. I know, I know.... how is jello considered a salad? Well, just go with it and try this one! The flavors are really good together, not too sweet, and unique from other jello salads. It's a recipe of my grandma and we love it!
Grandma's Cottage Cheese Jello Salad
This is a very nostalgic recipe for me! My grandma would make this for every Thanksgiving that I can remember. It is creamy, light, lemon-limey, fruity, and a not too sweet. A very unique salad that sets so well you can cut it into squares. The color is fun too. Doesn't it just look like the 1950's?
Spiced Peach Salad
Kids love jello! My kids' favorite is plain lime jello with whipped cream on top, but this jello is MY favorite. It is jello stepped up a notch, and will quickly win your heart too. It's a recipe I received years ago from a dear friend and amazing cook when we lived in California. I still make many of her recipes, and they continue to be favorites! We love this jello for holidays because it's a little more special, but you could make it anytime because it's super easy. Anyone else think it's strange that we call this fruity gelatin stuff a salad?
