My grandmother made this cranberry orange Jell-O salad every Thanksgiving. It is delicious even without its creamy topping. This side dish is so yummy that 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 Jell-O; or if you use a ring mold, put the topping in the center. You could also serve the topping in a bowl on the side, so it's optional.

Ingredients

  • raspberry flavored Jell-O® mix: 1 pack (6 ounce pack)
  • boiling water: 2 cups
  • whole berry cranberry sauce: 1 can (16 ounce can)
  • pineapple, undrained: 1 can (8 ounce can, crushed)
  • celery: 1 cup (chopped)
  • pecans: 1 cup (chopped)
  • orange zest: 1 tsp
  • cream cheese: 1 pack (4 ounce pack, softened)
  • whipped topping: 0.5 cup
