Patriotic Gelatin Salad

Serve this patriotic salad on your next memorial day or 4th of july celebration! It's a cool refreshing treat in the hot summer months and is an attractive salad to add to your buffet table! the total prep time is 7 hours, which includes chilling time. You must chill each layer for at least 30 minutes before adding the next colored layer. I usually make this on a day that i'm going to be home all day and i do the layers in between doing my cleaning!!
