Sweetheart Jell-O Salad image

My cousin served this tasty salad to my family at a memorable Sunday dinner many years ago. I've added this special dish to my menu for Valentine's Day, but I prepare it for other holidays as well. It's so colorful that it adds a festive touch to your table.

This is a great recipe! I've made it several times and it's always a hit. The only thing I do differently is add a little bit of lemon juice to the gelatin mixture. It gives it a nice tart flavor that I really enjoy.
