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

How often do you make a jello salad that is beautiful and delicious? Try this; you'll love it.

This is not only a beautiful dish. It is delicious! I dont like really sweet desserts, this is perfect.

I don't care for cranberry sauce but this recipe was delicious. I felt it needed the whipped topping but next time I'll try adding 1/2 cup powdered sugar to the cream cheese mixture.

It is a lot of prep for little results. I added 1/2 cup of powdered sugar to the middle layer so it wouldn't be so bland.

Our version of this is very similar, except that for the cream cheese layer, we mix 1/2 C. mayo, topped with 12/ C.chopped walnuts. Always a hit is a cut glass bowl or trifle bowl.

Lots of preparation time for lackluster results. Middle layer of cream cheese is worse than bland.

I made this in 8 oz. plastic cups, It takes some time but everyone just grab a cup! It was a great hit.

This salad has become a tradition in our family over four generations...it always is a taste pleaser. Even for those who say they don't like jello...

This salad went very well with our holiday meal. It was not as sweet as other variations I have tried. I liked the additions of pineapple & canned whole cranberry sauce. It will be on our holiday table from now on. Thanks.
