15 MINUTE MANDARIN ORANGE SALAD
This is my mom's recipe and is ever present at all holidays in my family. I changed it to make it sugar free and low fat. However, you can add the full fat cream cheese, and full fat Cool Whip if you want. It tastes great both ways. If you want thick servings use a smaller dish, if you want thinner use a bigger dish, you decide.

Steps:
- the orange jello mix, vanilla pudding package contents and tapioca pudding package contents with the water in a medium sauce pan.
- the mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking and scorching.
- until the mixture boils and thickens.
- the thickened gelatin mixture into a container to cool and leave on the counter to come to room temperature before refrigerating.
- When cooled to room temperature, cover the gelatin mixture and refrigerate until completely set.
- After the gelatin is firmly set (minimum of 4 to 6 hours), stir in the non-dairy whipped topping and mandarin oranges. Stir until thoroughly integrated into the mandarin orange salad. The jello salad will be thick, but light and fluffy.

ORANGE JELLO SALAD
Steps:
- Mix together 4 cups of water, orange jello mix, and vanilla pudding mix in a sauce pan. Bring to a boil, stirring the whole time to keep clumps from forming. Once it starts to boil, remove from heat. Pour into a heat-resistant container (I usually use a glass baking dish), cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for about four hours. Remove from fridge and break up the jello into chunks. Place in a large bowl. Add in the pineapple, mandarin oranges, and whipped cream and mix around until everything is combined. Keep refrigerated until you are ready to serve.

Tips:
- Choose ripe and juicy oranges for the best flavor.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the oranges into segments, making sure to remove any pith.
- If you don't have a citrus zester, you can use a microplane grater to zest the oranges.
- Use a good quality olive oil for the dressing, as it will make a big difference in the flavor of the salad.
- Add a pinch of salt and pepper to the dressing to taste.
- If you like a sweeter salad, you can add a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup to the dressing.
- If you want a more savory salad, you can add a teaspoon of Dijon mustard to the dressing.
- Serve the salad immediately, while the oranges are still fresh and juicy.
