Our striking "flag" salad drew plenty of attention at our Independence Day party. The shimmering stripes are formed with distinctive gelatin layers. It makes you want to salute before spooning some up! -Laurie Neverman, Green Bay, Wisconsin

Carefully Add LayersWhen making a layered gelatin salad, it's helpful to gently spoon (rather than pour) each layer onto the previous layer of gelatin so it doesn't break through the other layers. —Janet Biersach, Mauston, Wisconsin

I have made this for the Fourth of July ever since the recipe came out in TOH originally. I use a 9 x 13 glass Pyrex dish, which makes the layers very thin, but it's easier to transport and serve. I like to use a few more berries than indicated.

This is SO-o good ! Have made it a few times. Each layer has its own flavor and all good. Mine seem to take longer to set. ?

My family absolutely loved this! Instead of 2 cups sour cream; I used 1 cup plain greek yogurt and 1 cup sour cream....it was still delicious.

This was a HUGE hit at 2 parties I attended over the summer. Not a single bit of it left. I had to subsitute the raspberry for strawberry and it was fabulous all the same

I've been making this recipe for years. It was in a TOH cookbook my aunt gave me back in 1997. It is always a festive hit. Tip - Do not use fat free sour cream. I tried once and the middle layer would not set up.

This is a delicious salad, however if you want the layers to be as thick as the picture shows you need to double the recipe otherwise they are about 1/2 inch thick layers and does not fill the bowl as shown. It is delicious though...I have also made the mistake of using just whipping cream and not the "heavy" whipping cream and it still jelled and worked fine...I have made this recipe for christmas doing Red, White, and Red and it was still delicious...could of done Red, White and Green, however I just don't care for Lime Jello...so make it and enjoy it...many, many compliments, absolutely delicious! Also make sure your layers are very firm before doing the next layer or they will run together, time consuming but worth it the time for this salad, or dessert! Delicious!!

I made for family on the 4th and everyone loved it. It was very light and refreshing on a hot day. I will definitely make it again.

I make this every year for the 4th of July family picnic-wouldn't dare show up without it! Last year, raspberries were really expensive, so I substituted strawberries and strawberry gelatin. I've also made just the white mixture and layered it with fruit into individual parfait cups.

i made this for a picnic and i can't begin to tell you how much everybody loved it. i'm not a very good cook, but it's very easy to make, just be sure to allow plenty of time for cooling between layers. it tastes as fantastic as it looks!
