Grandma's Cranberry-Orange Gelatin Salad

Grandma's Cranberry-Orange Gelatin Salad

My grandmother made this cranberry orange Jell-O salad every Thanksgiving. It is delicious even without its creamy topping. This side dish is so yummy that I sometimes make it even when it’s not Thanksgiving! Depending on your salad’s shape, you can spread the topping in a layer over the Jell-O; or if you use a ring mold, put the topping in the center. You could also serve the topping in a bowl on the side, so it’s optional.
