We really liked this pretty jello salad. The kids weren't too sure about the celery, but they liked the fruit in it so much, that I got them to eat it anyways. Nice way to stick some more veggie into the kids. I also used fruits in fruit juice only, not syrup. I think this enhanced the flavor, and was a bit healthier. I think I will put this on our Christmas menu to have as a healthy dessert. Made and Reviewed for Please Review My Recipe Tag - Thanks! :)
