This dessert is one of my favorites to take to gatherings. It's easy to make and irresistible: I'm getting hungry just telling you about it. Well, enough about me, let's talk about Coka-Cola Salad.

This dish is as simple as Lasagna and just begs to be experimented with. As an example; the original recipe calls for raspberry Jello but I'm not a huge fan of raspberry so I replaced it with strawberry.
The original ingredient list is as follows:
- 1 small box raspberry Jello
- 1 small box strawberry Jello
- 1 small can pineapple tidbits (drained)
- 8oz. cream cheese
- 1.5 cup cold water
- 1 cup hot water
- 1 cup Coke
- 1 jar maraschino cherries (drained)
- 1 cup pecans
The batch I made this time was drastically different from that recipe partly out of necessity and partly out of taste. The hot and cold water and the Coke are used in making the Jello but I prefer to substitute all Coke for the water because it gives the dish more zing: it actually has a little carbonation in it after it's done. I didn't have enough cream cheese so it ended up being short on that and it's my favorite part. I also thought I had pineapple tidbits but it turned out to be crushed pineapple.
So, after all my modifications, here's the final ingredients list:
- 2 small boxes strawberry Jello
- 1 cup crushed pineapple (drained)
- 4oz. cream cheese
- 3.5 cup Coke
- 1 jar maraschino cherries (drained)
- 1 cup pecans
You only need a couple of utensils and containers. You will need a pan to heat water/Coke in or a cup if you plan to use a microwave. You can dissolve the Jello using the same container you heated the water in or, if you prefer, you can use another dish. A spoon will be necessary to stir the Jello while it's dissolving. You will also need whatever dish you plan to serve this in as that's the dish it will have to be refrigerated in while it solidifies.

I'm not sure which feeling is stronger looking at this... the fear or the hunger!
