Categories     Easy Side Dishes

Time 4h10m

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 cups water
6 oz Orange Jello Mix
3 ounce instant vanilla pudding
11 ounce can Mandarin oranges, drained
1/2 of a 20 ounce can of Pineapple chunks, drained
One 8 ounce container cool whip

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.

QUICK & EASY MANDARIN ORANGE JELLO SALAD



Quick & Easy Mandarin Orange Jello Salad image

This is SO EASY! It literally takes 10 minutes to prepare...5 if you don't decorate the top. No boiling water necessary! I frequently bring this to potlucks where I rarely have leftovers. I've seen other recipes with additional ingredients, but the simple flavor combination of this recipe always wins rave reviews. I don't...

Provided by Maureen Martin

Categories     Fruit Breakfast

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 24 oz carton cottage cheese (i use small curd)
2 3 oz boxes orange-flavored gelatin (or one large box)
4 oz whipped topping (half an 8 oz tub)
2 small cans mandarin orange slices in light syrup, drained (or 1 large can, drained)

Steps:

  • 1. In a large bowl, thoroughly combine the cottage cheese with the Jello. Mixture will be a little grainy due to undissolved sugar (you can stir it until it dissolves, but I never do and it comes out fine - sugar will usually dissolve during refrigeration, but if it doesn't, it's no big deal).
  • 2. Fold in the whipped topping until evenly incorporated. Don't get too vigorous with this as it's possible to stir out all the loft in the topping.
  • 3. Make sure the oranges are well drained (if you're frugal you can use the juice to flavor/sweeten something else). OPTIONAL - Reserve several orange sections for decoration - (I usually pull out 16 well-formed slices). Next, gently stir the remaining fruit into the Jello mixture until well distributed. Remember, don't over-do it or you'll lose too much loft from the whipped topping and the dish will be runny.
  • 4. Transfer mixture to serving dish, smooth top and (OPTIONAL) arrange reserved orange sections in attractive design (I put a slice at each of the clock numbers, all facing the same direction, plus a "flower" of 4 in the center, usually facing the opposite direction from the numbered slices). Cover; refrigerate. Serve cold.
  • 5. VARIATIONS This can easily be made lower calorie or diabetic friendly by choosing dietetic options for the ingredients. Be forewarned, however, if you use a dietetic product for every option, you will probably be disappointed in the flavor. If you want more of a Dreamsicle flavor, you can add half a teaspoon of vanilla extract.

ORANGE JELLO SALAD



Orange Jello Salad image

I made this for my mother-in-law and now I have to make it for every dinner and family function.

Provided by Deb Kotansky

Categories     Fruit Sides

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 large (20+ oz) can crushed pineapple, in own juice
1/3 c sugar
1 large box orange jello
1 1/2 c finely grated cheddar cheese (sharp or medium is fine)
1 c chopped pecans
1 large container cool whip

Steps:

  • 1. Bring pineapple (with juice) and sugar to a boil in medium saucepan. Remove from heat. Add jello and mix well. Add 2 cups COLD water. Mix and chill until set. I usually do this step the day before I need this dish.
  • 2. When jello has set completely, stir to break it up and add the cheese, pecans and Cool Whip. You can save some of the Cool Whip to cover top if you like. Mix well and chill in fridge for at least an hour before serving.
  • 3. I made this with lemon the last time I made it and I loved them both. My mother-in-law still loves the orange the best.

Tips:

  • Use fresh oranges: Fresh oranges provide the best flavor and texture for the salad. If you don't have fresh oranges, you can use canned mandarin oranges, but be sure to drain them well before adding them to the salad.
  • Chill the salad before serving: Chilling the salad for at least an hour before serving allows the flavors to meld and the gelatin to set properly.
  • Garnish with fresh mint or orange zest: A garnish of fresh mint or orange zest adds a pop of color and freshness to the salad.
  • Serve the salad as a side dish or dessert: Orange jello salad can be served as a side dish with a main course or as a dessert. It's also a popular dish to serve at potlucks and picnics.

Conclusion:

Orange jello salad is a classic dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its bright citrus flavor and refreshing texture, it's the perfect dish to serve at any occasion. So next time you're looking for a simple and delicious dessert or side dish, give orange jello salad a try. You won't be disappointed!
