another recipe

Yum Yum Salad
8 oz Cool Whip
8 oz Sour Cream (You can also use Cottage Cheese, but I have never tried it that way)
small box of jello (3 oz) any flavor
fruit
You can use your imagination as to what kind of combinations you would like. My family's favorite is orange jello with canned mandarin oranges or strawberry jello with fresh strawberries. At the Relief Society meeting I brought raspberry jello with fresh raspberries and bananas. I've never tried it before, but you could also try peach jello with fresh or canned peaches. This is easily doubled or tripled to make a big batch for whatever event you may be attending. Though not required, I like to let it set up a little bit in the fridge before serving.
