My family enjoys this lovely layered salad in the summer with grilled hamburgers. Although I haven't used the recipe long, it's quickly become a favorite. A good friend shared it with me, and every time I make it, I think of her. -Susan Kirby, Tipton, Indiana

Tip

Save Crumbs for Topping Ice Cream

“Don’t discard cookie or cereal crumbs,” advises Marie R. of Bensenville, Illinois. “Use them to top pudding, gelatin and ice cream.”

I messed up the first time I made this and used a small box of gelatin, so it didn't congeal as it should have. So I just mixed everything together. :) Had to eat it from a bowl, but was still good. I did it right the next time. Very good. We have had it several times since.
