Pour the mixture into a decorative gelatin mold. A Bundt pan or a classic gelatin mold works beautifully. (Time: 2 minutes)

6 hrs
Refrigerate the mold until the salad is fully set. This typically takes at least 6 hours, but overnight is preferable to ensure a firm, sliceable consistency. (Time: 6+ hours)
For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of orange liqueur (such as Cointreau or Grand Marnier) to the gelatin mixture before it sets. This will enhance the orange notes and add a touch of sophistication.
To unmold the salad easily, dip the mold briefly in warm water before inverting it onto a serving plate. Run a thin knife around the edges to loosen it further, if needed.
Fresh mandarin oranges can be substituted for canned, but be sure to peel them carefully and remove any white pith to avoid bitterness.

Apr 17, 2025I used sugar-free gelatin to cut down on the sweetness, and it still turned out great!
