Jell-O salad

Jell-O salad

Jell-O salad (also called gelatin salad, jelly salad, and congealed salad) is a salad made with flavored gelatin, fruit and sometimes grated carrots or, more rarely, other vegetables. Other ingredients may include cottage cheese, cream cheese, marshmallows, nuts or pretzels.

The name comes from the brand name Jell-O, a common gelatin product. Jell-O salads are a common feature of U.S. communal meals such as potlucks, most probably because they are inexpensive and easy to prepare.

In Utah, where Jell-O is the official state snack, ello salad is available in local restaurants such as Chuck-A-Rama.
