Great tasting and fun to have, the dreamsicle salad recipe is an excellent option as a main meal or as a side dish.

One word…… excellento! This recipe is basically a fruit salad. It’s the perfect family no-bake dessert and is super easy to make. This dessert is really tasty and you can serve it during the meal as a side dish or after as a dessert.

Orange Dreamsicle Salad is a delicious family dessert salad that’s ideal for potlucks, barbecues, or simply as a snack. It only takes a few minutes to prepare this dreamsicle salad, and then it chills until ready to serve. This is the ideal no-bake dessert dish.

There’s always a dispute over whether or not this is a salad, but I feel that since it has fruit, it qualifies. The majority of the time, we serve this during the main course of a meal. This can be served as a side dish during dinner or as a dessert afterward, depending on your meal plan.
