Orange Dreamsicle Delight Salad

While some may refer to it as Dairy Salad, I much prefer its more evocative title: Orange Dreamsicle Salad.

With just four ingredients, this recipe is not only simple but also swiftly assembled, making it a perfect addition to any dinner spread or a delightful touch of sweetness to your table.

One of the highlights for me is the burst of flavor that comes from the juicy mandarin oranges scattered throughout the salad.

For those with a sweet tooth, you might also enjoy exploring other dessert-like salads such as Cherry Salad, Pineapple Fluff with Pretzels, or even experimenting with recipes featuring orange extract or the beloved Orange Julius.

Ingredients:

• 1 box of orange Jell-O
• 1 box of instant vanilla pudding
• 1 cup boiling water
• 1/2 cup cold water
• 1 container (8 oz.) of Cool Whip
• 1 can (14 oz.) of mandarin oranges, drained
• 1 cup mini marshmallows

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, dissolve the orange Jell-O in boiling water, whisking until fully incorporated.
2. Stir in the cold water and allow the mixture to chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
3. Once slightly set, gradually whisk in the vanilla pudding mix until smooth, then chill for an additional 15-20 minutes until slightly thickened.
4. Gently fold in the Cool Whip, mandarin oranges, and mini marshmallows until evenly combined.
