Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 cups Cool Whip, thawed Provides airy volume and creaminess.
  • ½ cup sour cream Adds a slight tang.
  • 3 ounces strawberry gelatin mix Helps bind juices and adds flavor.
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, quartered Choose ripe, firm berries.
  • 2 cups pineapple chunks Can use fresh or canned.
  • 2 cups mini marshmallows Adds texture and sweetness.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Rinse and quarter the fresh strawberries, and drain the canned or fresh pineapple chunks well so excess juice doesn’t thin the salad. Place the fruit in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Fold in the thawed Cool Whip and the sour cream with the fruit. Sprinkle the strawberry jello mix over top.
  3. Add the mini marshmallows and stir gently until everything is thoroughly combined. Adjust the flavor with a teaspoon of lemon juice if desired.
  4. Serve immediately chilled or cover and refrigerate until ready.

Notes

Make the salad up to 24 hours ahead, but note that marshmallows may soften over time. For serving, use an ice cream scoop for clean portions.
