Cherry Coke Salad

Submitted by Watkinslady30

"I was looking for something a little different to take to a family BBQ and found this in my Taste of Home 2003 annual recipes cookbook. The thing I like most about this recipe is the ingredients are usually in my cupboards. Very pretty if you make it in a glass serving bowl. Makes a great dessert, too."

I can't believe I didn't rate this! I made it last summer and we really enjoyed it! It's a great summer dish, and we'll be having it again this summer.

My jello salads are usually flops, but this one was fool-proof, attractive, and tasted good. Thanks, Watkinslady, for taking some stress out of holiday dinner preparations.

I chose this recipe for Spring Pac 2007. My family and I really enjoyed it, it was easy to make and we loved the flavor of it all. Thanks for a great one!

Wow, I was really suprised by how much I liked this. I made some for my sister and her family and she liked it so much, she went out and got the ingredients to make this. I did make it sugar free by using sugar free jello, sugar free cherry pie filling and diet cola. It was the consistency of thejello that I really loved. I guess it was the cherry pie filling that made it seem different than regular jiggley jello texture.
