Orange Creamsicle Salad

July 25, 2017

Is it a salad or a dessert? You decide. This Orange Creamsicle Salad is an old-fashioned favourite. Versions of it have been around for generations! In my family, it’s typically served at special occasions like Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner. It’s sweet, creamy, fluffy and delicious.

Another name for it is Dairy Salad. That doesn’t sound very appetizing to me and I prefer the name we call it.

Did I mention it’s only 4 ingredients? You can throw this recipe together quickly if you need an extra side for dinner or want to add a bit of sweetness to the table.

My favourite part is when I bite into the juicy mandarin oranges that are mixed throughout.
