Winning Easter Jello Salad Recipe

Turns out Easter Jello Salad is an actual tradition. Thanks to the Internet, I have pondered an array of Miracle Whip-infused wonders, but have settled upon the the following recipe from RecipeZaar.

Sea Breeze Salad Recipe

"I love the lemon-lime flavor combination of this Jello salad..so refreshing! I like to serve this with our ham dinner on Easter Sunday."
