Equipment

Ingredients

1 3 ounce package orange Jello
1 cup boiling water
1/2 cup cold water
1 8 ounce Cool whip, thawed
1 11 ounce Mandarin Oranges in Can drained

Instructions

Start by boiling water and remove from heat. Then add in the jello and stir until the gelatin is fully dissolved. This takes about 2-3 minutes.
Next add in the cold water, and stir to combine. Cover and refrigerate jello for 1 hour.
Remove Jello from fridge and stir in the whipped topping, oranges, and mini marshmallows.
Cover and refrigerate another hour or until you are ready to serve. Then top with more oranges and marshmallows for garnish if you want.

Notes

Flavor of Jello - Feel free to reach for a different flavor of Jello if you want. Cherry, peach, etc.

Fruit - You can use fresh mandarin oranges that you peel and section if you don't want to use canned.

Sugar Free Dessert- Reach for sugar free jello, whipped topping and oranges to create a sugar free dessert. You can leave the marshmallows out or replace with cottage cheese for a creamy texture.

Storing - Store this salad in the fridge for up to 4 days. It is best to eat the orange salad the first day of making it.
