Classic Jello Salad

I adore things that are vintage, retro, or classic.  Including old recipes.  I have a ton of old cookbooks.  One of my favorite things to do is browse through my cookbooks and find old recipes.  I especially love Jello.  They use to do some amazing things with Jello -  like make "Asparagus Mold"  and "Tomato Aspic Salad", yum!!  Some of these recipes might sound completely disgusting, but someone use to eat them so they can't be all that bad.  I am determined to "bring back the classics"  so today a special treat for everyone - Classic Jello Salad.
