They are all some form of gelatin salad which is always refreshing. The Strawberry Rice Salad is unique in that is has cooked rice and milk as ingredients along with the more typical ingredients of gelatin, crushed pineapple, nuts, etc. The Citrus Delight Gelatin Salad combines orange and lemon gelatins with 7-UP.
