Are you searching for a festive looking salad for the upcoming summer holidays?


This Red, White & Blue layered Jello salad is not only delicious, it makes a lovely presentation! While it may look like it is complicated to prepare, it really is quite simple! This recipe can also be served as a dessert. Your guests will be impressed by your culinary efforts!

The recipe is normally made in a 9 x 13 glass pan. The recipe can be divided into two smaller glass pans. For a 4th of July celebration, I prepared it in a glass loaf pan and an 8 in round glass bowl. The picture below was taken right after the salad was taken out of the refrigerator.

More Ideas/Suggestions-

An artificial sugar substitute such as Splenda or Stevia can be used in place of the sugar. 1 cup Splenda or Stevia in place of the 1 cup of sugar.


Reduced fat cream cheese can be substituted for the regular cream cheese.


While I haven’t tried it, I believe that strawberry Jello could be used in place of the raspberry Jello,


A dollop of whipped cream can be added to the individual servings to make the salad look even more festive!
