This vibrant, nostalgic dish is a throwback to classic entertaining but stands apart from the creamy, whipped jello salads of the past. It features a bright, clean orange flavour thanks to the combination of Jello powder and frozen concentrate, with juicy mandarin oranges suspended throughout. It sets up perfectly overnight and is a simple, refreshing, and mandatory feature on many holiday dinner tables.
