Fluffy Orange Jello Salad

Every time I get out these beautiful and bright colored bowls, I am reminded of my Great-Grandma Smith. We used this Fiestaware at our cabin throughout the summer as every day dishes not knowing they would be valuable some day. Had we known we would have put them on display instead. They are showing their age with chips and scratches, but I love their vintage look and feel!

This Orange Fluff Salad is perfect for potlucks and parties. I also like taking 3-Ingredient Cream Cheese Apple Dip, Blizzard Party Mix, or Peanut Butter Rice Krispies Treats! Another crowd favorite are these Oreo Dirt Cake Cups!
