 Charles Euston (Colorado) says:
My mother always made this, too. She used lemon Jello rather than orange. She also put the mixture into little individual molds. After unmolding, she'd garnish each one with a little dollop of mayonnaise.

My mother made this with no salt but added small dice celery. Green part only. Just gives a little crunch.

My Auntie Stella made this all the time. My family and I always looked forward to going to their house for this treat. I can't wait to surprise them on Super Bowl with this added treat. Who knew that this simple jello recipe can bring back such happy memories.

This is our first Thanksgiving without my Grams, she always made this salad for Thanksgiving; my family will be surprised. I am also going to make her yeast dinner rolls.

MY grandmother ALSO used to make this, and it was soooo good. She didn't put the salt in it, though! Can't wait to surprise the family on Thanksgiving with Grama Dolly's "Golden Glow"!!
