Notes

You can leave it in the bowl if you want, but the salad will set faster in a baking dish. Mine is roughly 13x9. We like to make salads like this the night before a holiday or family gathering.
You can use any red flavor of Jell-O.
Don't use fresh pineapple, as it will prevent the gelatin from setting.
