This refreshing Sunshine Salad is a vibrant mix of citrusy fruits, crunchy vegetables, and a sweet and tangy dressing — perfect for a light summer side dish or a healthy snack.

Ingredients

  • 1 (3 oz) package lemon Jell-O
  • 1 (3 oz) package orange Jell-O
  • 2 cups boiling water
  • 1 (20 oz) can crushed pineapple, undrained
  • 2 cups shredded carrots
  • 1 (11 oz) can mandarin oranges, drained
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the lemon and orange Jell-O in 2 cups of boiling water. Stir until fully dissolved.
  2. Add the undrained crushed pineapple to the Jell-O mixture and stir to combine.
  3. Place the bowl in the refrigerator and chill until the mixture is slightly thickened but not fully set (about 45 minutes to 1 hour).
  4. Once the Jell-O is partially set, fold in the shredded carrots, drained mandarin oranges, and chopped nuts (if using).
  5. Pour the mixture into a serving dish or mold and refrigerate until fully set (at least 4 hours or overnight).
  6. Serve chilled as a side dish or dessert.

Notes

  • You can substitute the mandarin oranges with fresh orange segments if preferred.
  • For a more festive touch, serve in individual cups or molds.
  • Leave out the nuts for a nut-free version.
