Easter is just around the corner! We are excited for the grass to start turning green, leaves to bud and flowers to bloom. One of our favorite Easter (or any holiday really) sides is this Striped Jell-O salad. Its layered with four flavors of Jell-O that makes for a light and refreshing treat. It’s delicious enough for dessert…or if you are my daughter, your one and only main course. ha.
It is a super easy salad to make without much hands on time, but as a whole it is a long process cause you have to allow the layers to cool and solidify before adding the next. It is easy enough that after the making the first layer together with my 6 year old daughter, she took it upon herself to make the next few layers alone.
Use sugar-free Jell-O if you are wanting lower calories and carbs and top with a little cool whip for a delightful Spring treat.
