Orange Buttermilk Molded Salad (Gelatin)

I made this along with buttermilk fried chicken, coleslaw and buttermilk biscuits when I had a surplus of buttermilk in the house and didn't know how to use it all up. I had fun getting my husband to try to guess what the secret ingredient in ALL FOUR dishes was. I used a Bundt-type dish to mould it and served the coleslaw (with buttermilk-ranch dressing) in the middle of the moulded salad. It looked very pretty! I'm making this again for our family Thanksgiving potluck and I'm sure it will be a hit. I leave out the nuts (husband's preference.) -
Jen, Thank you for this great recipe. I served it for Father's Day along side my "Recipe #265208" -- a perfect accompaniment. I have a gelatin salad that is very similiar -- in addition to the ingredients in your salad, it also has cream cheese and diced canned apricots. Your salad is easier to assemble than mine!!! The next time I make your recipe, I'm going to add some of the diced apricots. I didn't use a mold -- instead made it in a pretty clear glass bowl I have and it looked very pretty (and refreshing) on the table. I hope others will try this.
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I live in a small (but growing to be very large) town in Oklahoma. I am currently a student, studying library science. I like to cook and eat, play the piano and violin, and train and play with my two dogs. I don't have a single favorite cookbook, but of the ones I use, I like BHG the most. Their recipes are usually very good. I would say my passion is learning new things--and traveling to new places. I also enjoy writing fiction. Some of my pet peeves are: 99% of the drivers in Oklahoma; people who don't take good care of their pets; people with NO TASTE; intellectual psychobabble nonsense; boring people; the list goes on forever!
