Ingredients
Fruits
- 20 ounces crushed pineapples, drained
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, finely diced
Other Ingredients
- 3 ounces strawberry gelatin mix
- 3 cups mini marshmallows
- 8 ounces Cool Whip
Instructions
- Combine Pineapple and Gelatin: In a large mixing bowl, add the drained crushed pineapples and strawberry gelatin mix. Use a spatula to mix thoroughly until the gelatin is evenly incorporated.
- Fold in Marshmallows and Strawberries: Gently fold the mini marshmallows and finely diced fresh strawberries into the pineapple and gelatin mixture, being careful not to crush the fruit.
- Add Cool Whip: Fold in the Cool Whip slowly until all ingredients are well combined, creating a fluffy and creamy texture.
- Chill the Salad: Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate the salad for at least 2 to 3 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the gelatin to set before serving.
Notes
- Ensure you drain the crushed pineapple well to avoid excess liquid in the salad.
- For best results, use fresh strawberries that are ripe and firm.
- You can substitute Cool Whip with homemade whipped cream if preferred.
- This salad can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days but is best enjoyed within the first day for optimal freshness and texture.
