This colorful layered Jello salad recipe is perfect for holiday entertaining or any time.
It is easy to make and looks pretty sitting on the dining or buffet table in a clear glass bowl.
I have suggested red, green and yellow jellos for a festive look, but try it with red and blue for a patriotic look, or just use fun colors of your choice.
Layered salad recipes are so easy to make but look sensational, so people think you made a real effort. The best part is everyone loves them, so they get eaten up each and every time.
