This Jell-O salad has been a part of our family holiday gatherings for generations, and is a true classic Americana dish. First brought by my Auntie Glad to our dinners in Arcade, NY during the 1960s and 70s, it evokes strong feelings of family togetherness and the importance of being there for one another. Now living in LeRoy, NY—the birthplace of Jell-O—it feels even more meaningful to carry on this delicious tradition and share it with loved ones.
