Sawdust Salad
A classic Southern vintage congealed salad recipe, that be used as either a sweet side salad or a light dessert for a heavy meal. This recipe calls for lemon and orange Jell-O, but you could use almost any citrus flavor.  Other recipes use grated cheese for the topping, but this recipe calls for coconut, which can be toasted – hence the name "Sawdust Salad". I will have to do a bake-off one day and post the results!
