Red, White and Blue Salad

Three cheers for the red, white and blue—and this salad!  It’s almost time to celebrate Uncle Sam’s birthday.

I am not normally a fan of gelatin desserts, but I couldn’t resist the patriotic theme and two of my favorite summer fruits.  Either of the fruit layers would be delicious on their own, but the two layers sandwiched with a creamy, vanilla sour cream layer were worthy of taste bud fireworks.  For sure, this salad would be the centerpiece of anyone’s 4^th of July picnic table.

A shot of whipped cream and a sprinkling of a few more berries, and who needs dessert?

In a large bowl, dissolve raspberry gelatin in remaining hot water; stir in remaining cold water.  Add raspberries.  Spoon over cream layer.  Chill until set.  Garnish with whipped topping and additional berries if desired.  Yield:  14-16 servings.
