Jello Salad in Three Layers

Jello Salad

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.

Tips and Variations:

  • This recipe is very pretty so if you have a nice clear glass serving bowl, it will look great.
