MIKE'S GELATIN GARDEN SALAD



Mike's Gelatin Garden Salad image

This is my son's adaptation of a old family favorite using Jello and fruits (originally crushed pineapple). We love raw fresh vegetable, eat lots of salads during the hot summer months here in Shasta County, California, so he just started experimenting with ingredients. While this salad is best when everything is most crispy, leftovers keep well in the fridge for several days.
