Jello Salad

Vintage Jello Salad recipes are super popular at potlucks and family gatherings all over the United States.

There's debate about whether they are actually a side dish or dessert. Most of my friends say they are a side dish salad.

Orange Jello Salad is bright in color and my personal favorite.

I like how whipped cream and cherries make my grandma's 7-Up Jello Salad look more fun.

While the others are congealed, or more like traditional Jello, our Cottage Cheese with Pineapple Salad is more of a fluff consistency. This old fashioned tradition of adding gelatin to a salad is alive and well!
