JELLO SALAD
Minnesotans affectionately call this a “fruit salad” because Jello + fruit = salad! It’s a staple at funeral lunches and holiday gatherings. Feel free to customize the Jello flavor and fruit to match the occasion. For Christmas, use lime Jello and pineapple. For Easter, use orange Jello and mandarin oranges. -Susan
