In a large heatproof mixing bowl, combine the orange-flavored gelatin with 2 cups of boiling water. Stir until the gelatin is completely dissolved, about 2 minutes.
Add 1 cup of cold water and 1 cup of frozen orange juice concentrate to the gelatin mixture. Stir well to combine.
Transfer the bowl to the refrigerator and chill the mixture for about 60 minutes or until it begins to thicken slightly but is not fully set.
Gently fold the drained mandarin oranges into the thickened gelatin mixture.
Add the whipped topping to the bowl and fold it in carefully until the mixture is evenly combined and fluffy.
Optional: Sprinkle in orange zest for an extra citrusy aroma and flavor.
Transfer the mixture into a serving dish or individual cups. Smooth the top with a spatula if necessary.
Chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours or until fully set.
Serve cold as a light, citrusy dessert or side dish. Enjoy!
