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.
You can see that I have used just one color/flavor here and it still looks pretty. So do whatever seems right at the moment.
Layered salad recipes are so easy to make but look sensational, so people think you made a real effort when it has actually been very easy..
The best part of serving a jellied salad like this is everyone loves them, so they get eaten up each and every time.
There is just something about them that people love. They are light and sweet, and just good to eat.
Have fun with this one.

Tips and Variations:
- This recipe is very pretty so if you have a nice clear glass serving bowl, it will look great.
- Mix it up with the jello flavors and colors of your choice. I have used all raspberry jello here.
- Add a variety of fruit. Mandarin oranges (drained) look great in orange jello or try well drained fruit cocktail in any flavor. Drained pineapple chunks are great in the lime layer.
