Fruit-Nut Gelatin Salad

SUBMITTED BY: Patty

"I have made this many times. An old-fashioned molded gelatin salad with the unusual and tasty combination of orange gelatin, pineapple, cream cheese, pimento, celery, walnuts, etc. This particular recipe doesn't call for marshmallows, but you could always add some if you like."
