Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup fat-free plain Greek yogurt
- 1 packet (0.3 ounces) sugar-free orange gelatin mix (powdered)
- 15 ounces mandarin orange segments in juice (drained)
- 8 ounces crushed pineapple in 100% juice (drained)
- 1 cup miniature marshmallows
- 1 cup fat-free whipped topping (optional)
- 2 sprigs fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, add the fat-free plain Greek yogurt and sprinkle the sugar-free orange gelatin mix over it.
Stir the yogurt and gelatin mix together until the gelatin powder is completely dissolved, creating a smooth and creamy mixture.
Gently fold in the drained mandarin orange segments and crushed pineapple, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Add the miniature marshmallows and fold them into the salad until combined. If using fat-free whipped topping, fold it in at this step for added creaminess.
Transfer the mixture into a serving dish or individual cups and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the salad to chill.
Before serving, garnish with fresh mint leaves for a burst of color and an added touch of freshness (optional).
Serve cold and enjoy this delightful fat-free creamy orange salad!
