I always enjoy the luscious gelatin salads that are on the Thanksgiving table. This week’s column features two such salads. “Pistachio Salad” is a favorite salad served with holiday meals and other times, too. The column’s first recipe is made with pistachio pudding, but the ingredients are a little different from the usual pistachio salad. The second recipe, for a raspberry salad, involves a little preparation time, but it’s worth it. Enjoy!
Pistachio Fruit Salad
- 1 (12-ounce) carton whipped topping
- 1 small package instant pistachio pudding mix
- 1 can of fruit cocktail, drained, or another canned fruit
- ¼ cup chopped maraschino cherries
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- ¼ cup chopped nuts (optional)
Place the whipped topping in a mixing bowl. Sprinkle dry pudding over the topping. Fold to blend. Add fruit and mix. Add marshmallows and nuts. Mix well. Chill before serving.
Raspberry Gelatin Salad
- 1 (3-ounce) package lemon gelatin
- 1 can crushed pineapple, drained
- Juice from pineapple plus water to make 1 cup
- 1 ½ cups miniature marshmallows
- 2 cups water (to dissolve raspberry gelatin)
- 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- ½ pint whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla
- 2 (3-ounce) packages raspberry gelatin
- 1 pound frozen raspberries, thawed
Dissolve lemon gelatin is boiling pineapple juice and water mixture. Pour over marshmallows and cream cheese. Beat with a mixer. Whip cream and add sugar and vanilla. Add to the lemon gelatin mixture. Fold in crushed pineapple and pour into a 9×13-inch casserole dish. Allow to set. Then dissolve the raspberry gelatin in 2 cups of boiling water. Add berries. Cool. Spread over first layer. Refrigerate and let set.
