Sometimes I just get inspired by something simple. When I get finished with it, it has a life of its own. :) This one started with a simple box of Raspberry Jello, and bloomed into a great salad to go with turkey, chicken or just about anything.

    You may use either method below to finish assembling your salad: For layered look, add chopped apple, pecans, celery and shredded cheese when jello is still liquid. Those additions will float to the top and give you a layered look. Cover and refrigerate until fully set. For fully mixed with additions suspended in jello, Cover jello, refrigerate until thickened and syrupy. Then stir in additions so they are distributed throughout the mixture.
