Although I grew up enjoying this “salad”, the adaptations I’ve made are lower in carbohydrates making it more suitable for diabetics and people counting carbs. By the way, my mother was a big fan of jello. Any dish made with jello was called a “salad’ at my childhood home. Orange jello with marshmallows? Salad. Raspberry jello with canned mandarin oranges? Salad. This still makes me laugh.
