As light and pleasant as a summer breeze - that's how I would describe this sunny salad. With oranges, grapes and pineapple peeking out of every spoonful, it's a fun, fruity addition to any meal. -Erla Burkholder, Ewing, Illinois Ingredients:
1 package (6 ounces) lemon gelatin |
2 cups boiling water |
1 can (12 ounces) lemon-lime soda |
1 can (20 ounces) crushed pineapple |
1 can (15 ounces) mandarin oranges, drained |
2 cups halved green grapes |
1 egg |
1/2 cup sugar |
2 tablespoons king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1 tablespoon butter |
1 cup heavy whipping cream, whipped |
lettuce leaves, optional |
Directions:
1. Dissolve gelatin in boiling water. Stir in soda. Chill until partially set.
