broken glass salad

Crunchy gelatin dessert squares

Broken glass salad is a layered gelatin dessert where colorful cubes of flavored gelatin are suspended in a creamy base, typically made with sweetened condensed milk or whipped topping.

The name comes from the jewel-like appearance of the gelatin pieces, which resemble shards of stained glass: She always brings broken glass salad to potlucks.

A staple of American church suppers and holiday gatherings.
