I start with a 6oz box of orange Jell-O. Add the entire package of powdered Jell-O to a large bowl.

Mix in a tub of vanilla Greek yogurt and stir well.

Now add in a semi frozen tub of Cool Whip (it works best when it isn’t fully thawed!).

Now mix it all up until smooth!

Now mix in the drained oranges, saving 1/4 cup for topping.

Finally, gently fold in 2 cups of marshmallows.

Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours up to overnight.

To serve: scoop chilled salad into small bowls or cups.

Add remaining 1/2 cup marshmallows and 1/4 cup oranges on top as a colorful garnish!
