Ingredients
Preparation
Step 1
In a small saucepan, bring the pineapple with liquid to a boil over high heat, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat. Stir in the gelatin until completely dissolved, about 1 minute. Pour into an 8- or 9-inch square glass baking dish and put in the freezer for 5 to 8 minutes, or until beginning to set around the edges.
Step 2
Stir in the oranges and buttermilk. Gently fold in the whipped topping until well blended.
Step 3
Chill, covered, until set, about 4 hours. Cut into 8 pieces. Serve on the lettuce leaves. Garnish with the cherries.
Lime-Pineapple Gelatin Salad
Step 4
Substitute lime or lemon gelatin for the orange or mixed-fruit gelatin, fat-free sour cream for the buttermilk, and fat-free vanilla yogurt for the whipped topping.
