A sweet fluffy Jell-O salad. The rice and pineapple add great texture. You can change out the Jell-O to make different color for every holiday- this one is good for St. Patrick's Day or Christmas too. This recipe works great frozen too. Line a loaf pan with foil overhanging on the ends so you can lift out easily to slice....
