Grandma's Cranberry-Orange Gelatin Salad

SUBMITTED BY: Carissa

"My grandmother made this salad every Thanksgiving. It is delicious even without its creamy topping. This side dish is so yummy, I sometimes make it even when it's not Thanksgiving! Depending on your salad's shape, you can spread the topping in a layer over the gelatin; or if you use a ring-mold, put the topping in the center. Alternately, you could serve the topping in a bowl on the side, so it's optional."
