Its basically a state holiday and there are a lot of tater tots and jello dishes being served. I laugh because it is such a part of my time growing up. I even learned to make green jello salad,
not that I would ever admit to it in hipster circles.
The parade would go through downtown Salt Lake City.
There would be floats.
People dressed as pioneers.
There would be royalty too.
And of course, green jello. It is the Utah state dish after all.
1 lrg box Green Jello or Lime Jello
1 lrg can Fruit Cocktail
1 lrg container Cottage Cheese
1-2 Bananas
1 lrg container Cool Whip
Drain the fruit cocktail juice, and then just mix everything together. You can add pineapple, carrots, oranges, what ever.
Don't say you weren't warned!
