3 Ingredient Orange Jell-O Salad
Have you ever found one of those recipes that is a life saver? This easy 3 Ingredient Orange Jell-O Salad recipe is just that! It seriously only takes a few minutes to put together, and is sure to please a crowd. Growing up with six kids we nicknamed a lot of our favorite foods by referring to it as so and so’s favorite dish. This is saved in my recipe book as K’s favorite salad.
Now, let’s talk about the ingredients. Mandarin oranges, orange jello, and whipped topping. How could you go wrong? (I guess if you are against jello, or whipped topping? Don’t worry, we can still be friends.) I’m sure there are a lot of variations you could make with similar ingredients, but honestly, why mess with a good thing?
Since it’s almost summer time I am going to be sure to have the ingredients for this salad on hand. That way I can be ready for those impromptu barbecues or picnics. What kind of things do you like to have on hand that are easy to make? I hope you a have great day and enjoy these last few weeks before school is out.

- Drain the juice from the Mandarin Oranges, add the package of Jell-O. Use a fork to stir the oranges and Jell-O together smashing the oranges while you go. Stir until the Jell-O is dissolved. Add the whipped topping. Fold in until combined. Let the salad sit for 15-20 minutes until set. This recipe can be doubled or tripled if desired.
