Waldorf Cinnamon Jello recipe

I lived in the Jello Capital of the World (Utah) for twenty-one years. During that time I went from considering Jello as an iffy "dessert" to incorporating it into salads of every kind. I think Jello eventually permeates every brain cell to the point where you consider the stuff one of the essential food groups.

I've since become rehabilitated and rarely use Jello, but I kept this recipe as one of the healthier and, I admit it, tasty salads.
