How to Make Ribbon Jello Salad

  1. In a large bowl, dissolve 1 (3 ounce) package of lime-flavored gelatin in 2 cups of boiling water. Stir until completely dissolved.
  2. Add 2 cups of cold water and stir gently.
  3. Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray.
  4. Pour the lime jello mixture into the prepared pan.
  5. Refrigerate until the jello is almost set, but still slightly jiggly (approximately 1-2 hours).
  6. In a separate bowl, dissolve 1 (3 ounce) package of lemon-flavored gelatin in 1 cup of boiling water. Stir until dissolved.
  7. Beat 8 ounces of softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the dissolved lemon jello mixture, beating until well combined.
  8. Stir in 1 cup of crushed pineapple (drained) and ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans.
  9. Gently fold in 8 ounces of whipped topping.
  10. Carefully spread the lemon jello mixture evenly over the set lime jello layer.
  11. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the lemon layer is set.
  12. In a separate bowl, dissolve 1 (3 ounce) package of cherry-flavored gelatin in 2 cups of boiling water. Stir until dissolved.
  13. Add 2 cups of cold water and stir until well combined.
  14. Chill the cherry jello mixture in the refrigerator until it reaches a thick, syrupy consistency (about 1 hour).
  15. Gently pour the cherry jello mixture over the lemon layer.
  16. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until completely set.
  17. Before serving, top with additional whipped topping or whipped cream, if desired.
  18. Enjoy your beautiful and delicious Ribbon Jello Salad!
