This vintage salad is right on brand as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/holiday-recipes-passed-down-for-generations\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/holiday-recipes-passed-down-for-generations\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">holiday favorite<\/a> thanks to its red, white and green colors. It&#8217;s the perfect sweet treat to pair with a savory turkey or ham roast.<\/p>\n<p>There are quite a few steps to follow but no special skill required. The hardest part of this jello ribbon recipe is leaving it alone while it sets.<\/p>\n<h2>Ingredients for Ribbon Jello<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Lime gelatin<\/b>: This gelatin is the bottom layer. All you have to do is dissolve it in water and let it set.<\/li>\n<li><b>Lemon gelatin<\/b>: Lemon flavor is the middle layer and will bring a citrus finish to the cream cheese filling.<\/li>\n<li><b>Miniature marshmallows<\/b>: You might already have these for the holiday season. They give the middle layer a spongy texture and extra sweetness.<\/li>\n<li><b>Cream cheese<\/b>: Smooth cream cheese holds the slippery gelatin layers together.<\/li>\n<li><b>Mayonnaise<\/b>: This adds a tangy taste to the cream cheese.<\/li>\n<li><b>Crushed pineapple<\/b>: You don\u2019t have to drain your crushed pineapple pieces because the juice will combine with the setting gelatin.<\/li>\n<li><b>Cherry gelatin<\/b>: This contributes the distinctive flavor and the red color for the ribbon jello salad top layer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Prepare the base ribbon jello layer<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2052343\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Ribbon-Jello_TOHD24_19474_JuliaHartbeck_1.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Preparing the green jello layer\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Julia Hartbeck for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>In a large bowl, dissolve the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/simple-lime-gelatin-salad\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/simple-lime-gelatin-salad\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">lime gelatin<\/a> in boiling water and then add cold water while stirring. Pour it into a dish and refrigerate for about one hour until it is firm but not fully set.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 2: Make the middle cream cheese layer<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2052344\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Ribbon-Jello_TOHD24_19474_JuliaHartbeck_2.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Preparing the middle cream cheese layer\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Julia Hartbeck for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>In a large bowl, dissolve the lemon gelatin in boiling water and stir in the miniature marshmallows until they have fully melted.

Carefully spoon over the cold lime layer and return to the refrigerator to chill until firm but not fully set.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 3: Make the top cherry layer<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2052345\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Ribbon-Jello_TOHD24_19474_JuliaHartbeck_3.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Preparing the top cherry jello layer\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Julia Hartbeck for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Dissolve the cherry gelatin in boiling water and add cold water while stirring.

Make sure you cover it or store it in an airtight container to stop it from absorbing other refrigerator flavors.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you make ribbon jello ahead of time?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, you have to make ribbon jello ahead of time. There\u2019s a lot of time spent waiting for layers to chill and the whole salad requires an overnight stay in the refrigerator. You could make it a few days ahead of serving and refrigerate until ready.<\/p>\n<h2>Ribbon Jello Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2052347\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Ribbon-Jello_TOHD24_19474_JuliaHartbeck_5.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Two squares of ribbon jello served on small plates with spoons\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Julia Hartbeck for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>What can I serve with ribbon jello?<\/h3>\n<p>Although it\u2019s a fun party platter item to put on a buffet by itself, you can also serve ribbon <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/dishes-beverages\/salads\/jello-salads\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/dishes-beverages\/salads\/jello-salads\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">jello salad<\/a> with a hot roast, such as turkey or ham. The sweetness and punch of fruit imitate the role of a conventional cranberry or apple sauce.<\/p>\n<h3>Do I have to use boiling and cold water?<\/h3>\n<p>The science behind the dual-temperature water is that gelatin needs hot water to dissolve but cold water for the proteins to set. If you only used warm or cold water from the start, you\u2019d have cloudy and clumpy gelatin that would not be very appetizing.<\/p>\n<h3>Is there a vegan version of ribbon jello?<\/h3>\n<p>It might not be easy, but you can certainly track down vegan versions of cream cheese, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/vegan-marshmallow-recipe\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/vegan-marshmallow-recipe\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">marshmallow <\/a>and egg-free vegan mayonnaise. Even gelatin, which is made from animal bones, has a vegan counterpart that uses agar (like vegan marshmallows). You can make your own with fruit juice, food coloring and agar jelly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Layers of red and green make this festive salad a favorite during the Christmas season.
