What is the family dish that is always made and everyone loves or the dish everyone hates and never eats but it still gets made.
Growing up my mom made and orange jello salad. It was always there at Thanksgiving . It wasn't the top seller but we all ate it.
It wasn't till we all grew up that we realize that the dish has to be on our tables.
My parents both passed in 2015 - one in January and one right after Christmas. Coming up on a year for mom
This year the jello dish was the most requested dish. Funny how a simple dish can bring such conversation to a table. My sister calls it fiber salad, I always called Thanksgiving jello salad. As she only made it then
It was the last thing I ate on my plate as it was so refreshing after everything else :
Try it, you will be surprised. this is for a small dish- we had to have a 9x13 size so we use the large package.
There is no measurement on the veggies it was just done with her eyes.
Ellies orange salad (small version)
3 oz pk Orange jello prepared as package directions
and put into 8x8 dish ( not good in a bowl needs a shallow container)
finely chopped celery ( I would say 2 stalks)
1 large carrot grated
and one 15 oz crushed pineapple drained
stir it all together and refridge till set.
Yup sound weird but it is refreshing with a crunch.
