Strawberry-Fluff-Salad

Are you having a 4th of July party this year? If the answer is yes then you need to try this fun, light, and fluffy salad.  It will satisfy your party guests with its sweet flavor and heavenly fresh strawberries.  And it’s so simple to make with four ingredients that it won’t keep you from your party and the fireworks. 

Strawberry-Fluff-Salad-2

When I was creating this recipe I had an idea that it would be great served over angel food cake with blueberries and strawberries for the 4th of July.  Well trust me, though it tasted delicious…it was a visual disaster!

So I had some leftover topping in my refrigerator after the experiment and since it tasted so good I thought it was worth a little tweaking. I added marshmallows, left out the blueberries, and viola this salad (come on, who are we kidding, desert, right?) was created.

So let’s get started whipping up this fun salad. Start by making a 3 oz. package strawberry Jello according to the package directions. Place bowl of Jello in the refrigerator for about an hour or until thickened but not set. While you are waiting for the Jello to be ready you can clean and chop up the 1 pint of strawberries.

Then when the Jello is ready after an hour then mix it in a bowl with an 8 oz. container of Cool Whip that has been thawed in the refrigerator.

Next fold in the chopped strawberries.
