My mom used to make this salad occasionally and now I do too. Is's soooo delicious!! Not too good for my diet though. To help I use the non-fat cottage cheese and lite Cool Whip; I don't think the sugar-free Jello would work so I haven't tried that.

Sheri, sugar free Jello works just fine. I use SF in my cousin's "Orange Salad" Recipe. Archived on TF. I also adapted it using Cherry Jello and halved cherries.

I'm sure Strawberry Jello & sliced strawberries would be good also. GG Vi
