# Glimmering Rainbow Salad

Fruit salad? Yummy yummy! (random reference to the Wiggles show. sorry.)

Fruit salad is a GREAT way to add something a wee bit healthy to your happy hour menu, plus it is a guaranteed kid pleaser. There are literally thousands of fruit salad recipes online to choose from, but LISTEN UP FOLKS: you can't screw this up, we promise.

We were inspired by [this dish from MomsDish.com](http://momsdish.com/recipe/602/jello-fruit-cake-dessert) and just adapted a little based on the fact that we weren't interested in fully reading the recipe. ;)

**Glimmering Gelatin Rainbow "Salad"**

Enjoy this fruity dessert that you can eat on the go! #whatsinyourcup?

Serving Size = 12, Prep time = :20

- **1 pack of [Solo® Heavy Duty Paper Plates](http://www.solocup.com/products/heavy-duty-paper-plate/) or 1 pack of [Solo® Snack Bowls](http://www.solocup.com/products/snack-bowl/)**
- **3, 3 oz. packages of gelatin (Preferrably orange or pinapple flavor)**
- **Rainbow of Fruit: Rasberries, Strawberries, diced Mango, green grapes, purple grapes - all cut up into small 1/4 inch pieces. One to two packages of each fruit should more than suffice.**

**How To Make:**

1. Using a bunt pan, layer in all of the fruit in rainbow formation.
2. Prepare gelatin as directed, pour over fruit and place in fridge for 3+ hours to ensure that it fully forms.
3. To serve, overturn on a cake plate, wait for 5 minutes. If gelatin doesn't separate from the pan, you may "encourage" it with a knife.
4. Serve on [Solo® Heavy Duty Paper Plates](http://www.solocup.com/products/heavy-duty-paper-plate/) or [Solo® Snack Bowls.](http://www.solocup.com/products/snack-bowl/) 

Does our version photograph as nice as [Natalya's version](http://momsdish.com/recipe/602/jello-fruit-cake-dessert)? No... but we had FUN making it and FUN eating it, and that's what really matters right?
