Does anyone have any suggestions for making Jell-O Salads interesting or preparing a variety of them? I LOVE Jell-O salads but seem to get stuck in a rut with them.
Thanks!

We were given two hands to hold, two eyes to see, two ears to listen & two legs to walk. But why were we given only one heart? The other heart was given to another for us to find.
I have to say I have never heard of jell-o salads, so spent the last few minutes googling around to find out what they are! I found the following site, which appears to have some interesting recipes (7-UP, Ambrosia, Cranberry, Lime, Peach, Raspberry, Strawberry Pretzel, Cherry, Lemon, Orange, Pistachio, Strawberry, Bellini, Applesauce, Apricot, etc):
Thank you for that nice link! I can't wait to get started!!
Just so's you know, many Americans who grew up in the 1950's and 60's fondly remember family meals consisting of meat loaf, mashed potatoes and Jell-O Salad. It is also standard fare on many types of buffet tables.
I think my all-time favorite style is w/ mini marshmallows included if not outright Ambrosia.

We do have jellies, but I havent seen anything quite as elaborate or interesting as some of the recipes in the above link - but I suppose they are a little like British trifles (friut, sponge, jelly, custard and cream) which I cant get enough of!? I'll maybe have a go at making the apricot one next weekend!
JunieGirl ~ This sounds TERRIFIC!! I am putting it at the top of my To Do Immediately List! Thanks!

Merme: If I do say so myself--it is terrific. and you can change it to please anybodys tastes. Not to mention the calcium you are getting from the Cottage cheese.
Bonus: if people do not see you make it, they will never realize it is CC.

Life isn't about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain!! .....
That is the same recipe my mom made when I was a kid. I love it!!! We always used pineapple, but would change the jello flavor. I really liked pineapple jello with pineapple, but really its all bout the color you want and not so much the flavor. I didn't know anyone else made that! How fun!
