LAYERED RAINBOW JELL-O SALAD

• Pour 1/2 cup of this liquid into a 9x13 pan to create a "clear" layer, tilting pan for even coverage if necessary (see note).
• Refrigerate until set (see note).
• While the first layer sets, add 1/2 cup Greek yogurt and 2 tablespoons cold water to the remaining liquid Jell-O for the "cloudy" layer.
• Pour the liquid for your "cloudy" layer on top of the completely set clear layer.
• Refrigerate again until set.
• Repeat this process with each color of Jell-O to create alternating "clear" and "cloudy" layers in each color you've chosen.
• Refrigerate until serving.

RIBBON JELLO SALAD FROM MRS. B

Steps:

• For filling: Dissolve unflavored gelatin in cold water. Add milk, sour cream, sugar and vanilla. Beat well.
• Layer in 9 X 13 pan, chilling between layers.
• First layer: jello 1, prepared as directed on package.
• Second layer: 1 3/4 cup filling.
• Third layer: jello 2.
• Fourth layer 1 3/4 cup filling.
• Fifth layer: jello 3.
• Sixth layer: 1 3/4 cup filling.
• Seventh layer: jello 4.
• IMPORTANT; Let each layer set well before adding another. (Chill in refrigerator between additions.) Also, let your prepared jello cool to room temperature before layering it into the pan on top of the previous layer. When you pour a new layer in, do not pour it directly on the previous layer. The stream of liquid may be strong enough to "slice" open the layer that is there. Instead, hold a large spoon down near the pan; pour the liquid onto the spoon and let it gently cascade into the pan. The filling will probably set up before you get through all the layers. You can warm it gently to re-liquify; just be sure it is not too hot when you pour it on the previous layer.
