CHERRY-CHEESE GELATIN SALAD



Cherry-Cheese Gelatin Salad image

THIS recipe was in a community cookbook compiled by our high school's booster club 22 years ago. The measurements and directions were vague so I experimented until I got it right. This is a pretty salad to serve at luncheons and the flavor is light. --Karen Ann Bland, Gove, Kansas
