Ingredients
- 6 oz (2 small boxes or 1 large box) orange-flavored Jell-O
- 2 cups boiling water
- 1 cup cold water
- 20 oz (1 can) crushed pineapple (undrained)
- 15 oz (1 can) mandarin oranges (drained)
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 8 oz whipped topping (such as Cool Whip)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the orange-flavored Jell-O in 2 cups of boiling water. Stir thoroughly for 2 minutes to ensure all the powder has dissolved.
Step 2
Add 1 cup of cold water to the Jell-O mixture and stir to combine.
Step 3
Stir in the undrained crushed pineapple. Mix well to disperse the fruit and juice evenly throughout the liquid.
Step 4
Transfer the mixture to the refrigerator and chill for about 1 hour, or until the Jell-O starts to thicken but is not fully set.
Step 5
Once thickened, fold the drained mandarin oranges, mini marshmallows, and whipped topping into the Jell-O mixture. Stir gently to combine, being careful not to break apart the fruit.
Step 6
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and return to the refrigerator. Chill for at least 2-3 hours (or ideally overnight) until set completely.
Step 7
Before serving, stir lightly to fluff the salad. Serve chilled in individual bowls or a large serving dish. Enjoy!
