That sounds so good.

It is very good!
I've made it many years ago when my kids were young for picnics and get togethers. It's been a long time though and I should make it again soon. My family is just not that big on salads, I love any kind of salad, fruit,vegetable whatever!

Mmmmm that sounds great. I will have to try it.

Sounds good....have saved it.

My OP, as it doesn't resemble congealed salads like I have had before.

Kinda fluffy instead of the thick jell.

But MAN the blueberry pie filling was EXPENSIVE. Almost $4.00 for the can.

why do they call these kind of recipes salad?
I would call it a desert. LOL... my grandma used
to make a jello "salad" and I always thought that was odd.
this one sounds interesting. I'm not sure about cream cheese and sour cream. interesting!

Has anyone made it using a different flavor of Jello--like lime? and/or different pie filling? Just curious.

I think I have had something like that quite awhile ago. It is good so I copied the recipe as it was easier than going through my files. I'll bet you could use cherry jello and cherry pie filling if you wanted a different flavor.

I've had this...I love it!!

Thanks Glenda, I've learned to save most recipes you post!
They always sound wonderful! This one is no exception.

It is dessert. They probably call it salad so you don't realize how many calroies are in it. :)

Sounds good, but I don't have any blueberry pie filling, only no-sugar cherry.

It was so good standing at the counter at 2am eating it with triscuits :o)

And the calorie count per serving is...???

This isn't 'salad'. I know what a Jello salad is. It's the awful thing DH's fraternity house cook presented on Friday nights: Lemon Jello with the week's leftover vegetables in it. (Can't believe any of the brothers ever ate any. ICK!)

I ran the recipe through a nutrition calculator.

If it's for 8 servings, it is:
402 calories per serving with 144 calories from fat.
16 grams fat per serving with 10 grams of those saturated fat.

It's a dessert in my book, although I know many people call anything made with gelatin a salad.

Everyone has a right to call it what they wish.

I stand to call it salad, and that's the way I serve it.

It's Christmas, or was, and I do whatch what I eat year round, soooooo! There ya go!

We eat it as a salad. I like something sweet to counteract the flavors of the rest of the meal. I like it best with chicken or turkey.

Wow--the calories are high, but it makes a 9x13" pan and probably 12 good-sized servings. Ah, now I feel better ;-)

I use raspberry Jello.

Glenda, you have some amazing recipes. Think I first started using this recipe back in the late 70's. Love this recipe. This is one of those recipes that I really don't care what the caloric count happens to be, its just well worth each calorie.

Its listed under salads in the cook books I've seen, not desserts. Desserts are more fattening! LOL

As chubby rat stated in another thread: no wonder people don't share much on here anymore.....

I was merely making a statement as to how good it was.

Enjoying the moments of eating, and not concerned whether it was to be eaten as a salad/dessert or the calories.

Some people like to make something out of nothing. And twist threads around the way they want.

So I enjoyed the blueberry salad. PERIOD!

Thanks Glenda,i don't care what it's called,if it's good that's all that's necessary in my book.I've never had this but plan to try it,as i said yesterday i love anything blueberry!! TFS

PS,I'll just wave my magic wand over it and remove the fat and calories.

Thanks Glenda. In my book if it has jello, it's usually salad. I think the salad sounds good. Beside there's lots of "main" dishes that are not good for you and have lots of calories. Don't let what some say bother you. Thanks for your post.

I guess we now how proof that the spirit of Scrooge is alive and well!! LOL!! Geez....salad or dessert....who cares? It sounds wonderful!

Glenda thanks for the recipe, it sounds delish. I'm another that includes jello salad as a main course side. The sweetness helps balance out the meal.

Glenda, this is in my Southern Georgia cookbook and it is listed under SALADS.Thanks for sharing the recipe. I save the recipes that you post and every one that I have tried has been delicious! If you give it a good rating, I know I'll like it too! So, please keep sharing! Bettye/AZ

Well, I certainly wasn't saying it wasn't good!

Just saying where I grew up anything Jello was a dessert. Serve whatever you want whenever you want.

I didn't say anything at all until someone asked for a calorie count per serving. That's something I could do, so I did.

Try not to be so thin-skinned - no one was insulting your salad, as far as I can tell.

PROBLEM SOLVED - maybe?

Eat some with the main coarse and call it salad.

Then because it is so good just have some for dessert.

Going to the grocer tomorrow for fixin's.

Thanks for the recipe and the personal reviews of it.

Boo-hoo. So nobody want's the recipe for the Jello-with-leftover-vegetables? LOL I'm pretty sure it's low-cal. After all, who'd eat it?

I love the salad with the carrots and pineapple and lime jello and whatever else it takes. I am not picky except for seafood, don't care for it, only for fish.

lol..well, there I go again causing a ruckus. i always wondered about salad and jello. this just happened to be a recipe with jello. and i thought it an opportunity to ask. i'll try to watch out next time. don't know why a little question like that is construed as negative. I was just curious wondering if it might be geographical. sorry to hurt your feelings .

Glenda, I made your salad today and we love it.
Thanks for sharing your recipe.
Jackie.
