This is a snow-white molded gelatin salad that I make for many holidays. Everyone loves the sweet and creamy texture, but best of all it is so easy to garnish to match your table decorations or for whatever holiday it is. For 4th of July use blueberries and strawberries, for Christmas use raspberries and kiwi or star-fruit. I made this for Thanksgiving, garnished with slices of orange and purple plum.
