As light and pleasant as a summer breeze - that's how I would describe this sunny salad. With oranges, grapes and pineapple peeking out of every spoonful, it's a fun, fruity addition to any meal. -Erla Burkholder, Ewing, Illinois

Ingredients

  • 1 package (6 ounces) lemon gelatin
  • 2 cups boiling water
  • 1 can (12 ounces) lemon-lime soda
