Jell-O salad
Gelatin with fruit
Jell-O salad is a dish made with flavored gelatin mixed with fruits, vegetables, or other ingredients, served chilled until set.
Popular in mid-20th-century American cooking, these salads ranged from simple fruit suspensions to elaborate creations with cottage cheese, shredded carrots, or marshmallows.
The dish now carries nostalgic or retro associations: Grandma always brought her lime Jell-O salad to Thanksgiving.
