This Simple Lime Gelatin Salad is a refreshing, tangy dish that combines the vibrant flavor of lime with creamy sherbet and whipped topping. Easy to make with just four ingredients, it’s a quick and delicious treat that’s perfect for any gathering.

Ingredients

  • 2 packages (3 ounces each) lime gelatin
  • 2 cups boiling water
  • 1 quart lime sherbet
  • 1 carton (8 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed

Instructions

  • Dissolve Gelatin: In a large bowl, dissolve the lime gelatin in boiling water.
  • Add Sherbet: Beat in the lime sherbet until it melts completely and blends in.
  • Mix in Whipped Topping: Add the thawed whipped topping and beat until smooth and fully combined.
  • Mold the Salad: Pour the mixture into an 8-cup ring mold that has been lightly coated with cooking spray.
  • Chill: Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until fully set.
  • Unmold and Serve: Once set, unmold the gelatin salad onto a serving platter and enjoy!

Notes

  • Fruit Additions: Add mandarin oranges, fresh strawberries, or other fruit to enhance the flavor and texture.
  • Flavor Variations: Swap the lime gelatin for orange, strawberry, or raspberry gelatin for a different flavor profile.
  • Creaminess: Use vanilla ice cream instead of lime sherbet for a richer, sweeter version.
  • Texture: Add chopped nuts or mini marshmallows for crunch or extra sweetness.
