Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 package orange gelatin mix (6 oz package)
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 cup cold water
- 15 oz canned mandarin oranges, drained
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
- 8 oz whipped topping, thawed
- 1 cup vanilla yogurt
- 0.5 cup shredded coconut (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the orange gelatin mix in 1 cup of boiling water. Stir until completely dissolved, about 2-3 minutes.
Add 1 cup of cold water to the dissolved gelatin mixture and stir to combine. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature, which may take about 10-15 minutes.
Once cooled, gently fold in the drained mandarin oranges, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Add the mini marshmallows, whipped topping, and vanilla yogurt to the bowl. Using a spatula, fold the ingredients together gently to create a light and fluffy consistency.
If desired, fold in the shredded coconut for an extra layer of texture and flavor.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the salad for at least 2-3 hours, or until thoroughly chilled and set.
Before serving, give the salad a gentle stir to ensure all ingredients are well combined. Serve in individual bowls or as a side dish alongside your favorite meal.
