  • 15 ounce can mandarin oranges drained
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows

Instructions

  • Pour orange jello in a large mixing bowl.

Notes

  • For a creamier salad, add in a bit of cream cheese with the whipped topping. 
  • Add chopped walnuts or pecans for crunch in your salad. 
  • If you don’t have mini marshmallows, you can use regular sized ones, just cut them into smaller pieces.
