Mandarin Orange Salad
Report
A creamy mandarin orange jello salad is an old-fashioned dessert or simple side dish with just a few minutes of prep!

- 1 (3 ounce) small box orange gelatin mix

Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt and gelatin mix. Gently stir in the oranges, marshmallows, and pecans. Fold in the whipped topping just until combined.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 24 hours. Stir gently just before serving.
Notes
- Set aside a few orange slices and some extra marshmallows to garnish the salad just before serving.
- How to Make the Salad Fluffy: Do not thaw the Cool Whip on the countertop. Instead, allow at least 4-5 hours (or overnight) for the Cool Whip tub to thaw in the refrigerator. This will maintain its fluffy texture. Next, make sure that you gently fold the Cool Whip into the salad — do not stir. This will maintain the air in the whipped topping.
- Prepare the Salad in Advance: It needs at least 1 hour to chill in the refrigerator and “set up” before serving, and can easily be made a day ahead. The salad will keep in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. After about 24 hours, however, the texture of the salad is less fluffy.
- Some versions of mandarin orange salad include maraschino cherries. If you’d like to do this, I recommend patting them dry first.
