Pineapple-Orange Gelatin Salad

Have you ever seen a fruit dessert that successfully integrates cheddar cheese? I hadn’t either, until I found this fabulous gelatin dish, sometimes called “Sawdust Salad” because of its unique appearance. The dish integrates several types of citrus to create a very attractive layering.

I prefer to substitute light versions of the cream cheese and whipping cream to lower the calorie count. The gelatin lightens the texture, despite its somewhat thick appearance. Take it from me – this one is a winner!
