EASY STRAWBERRY JELLO SALAD WITH COOL WHIP



Easy Strawberry Jello Salad with Cool Whip image

Provided by Natalie Clark

Categories     Jello Recipes

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 4

one 6 oz box regular (not sugar free) strawberry jello, prepared according to instructions
one 8 oz container of Cool Whip
2 cups or 1 pound fresh strawberries, diced or sliced how you prefer
optional add-ins include whipped cream for topping, strawberry jam at the bottom, or mini marshmallows to mix in

Steps:

  • Boil one cup water on stove top, and mix into bowl with jello powder in mixing bowl. Add in one cup cold water and stir. Chill jello, preferably in a shallow pan, for about 45 minutes or until it is completely cool, just starting to set. Pour the jello into a large mixing bowl. Mix the jello up vigorously, for about one minute. Using an electric mixer is great for this step. But watch out it splashes. This breaks up any jello bits that have started to set, and adds air to the mix. Then fold in the Cool Whip and then strawberries. Mix completely, but be gentle and don't deflate the mix by stirring too aggressively. If you want to add in mini marshmallows, do it now. Add them in about 1/2 cup at a time to make sure you don't overdo it. Transfer to a 9×13 pan for serving, or into individual dishes if you prefer. You can top with whipped cream and sliced strawberries if you prefer. If you want to dress up this dish, spread a spoonful of strawberry jam in the bottom of a glass dessert dish or shallow glass. Then add the salad mix. After the dish has chilled, dollop with some fresh whipped cream and a slice of strawberry.

COTTAGE CHEESE JELLO FRUIT SALAD

TIP: If you like it more fruity, use less cool whip. If you like it more creamy, use more cool whip. Also, you can "holiday" it up or customize it just by changing flavors. For Christmas, use green jello and add cherries. For Halloween, use orange jello and add mandarin oranges, etc.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe and fresh fruits: The quality of your fruits will greatly affect the taste of your salad. Choose fruits that are ripe and in season, as they will be sweeter and more flavorful. Avoid fruits that are bruised or have blemishes.
  • Use a variety of fruits: The more variety of fruits you use, the more colorful and flavorful your salad will be. Some good options include berries, citrus fruits, tropical fruits, and melons.
  • Cut the fruits into bite-sized pieces: This will make it easier to eat the salad and will also help the flavors to blend together.
  • Chill the fruits before assembling the salad: This will help to keep the salad refreshing and cool.
  • Use a light and fluffy whipped topping: This will help to balance out the sweetness of the fruits. Cool Whip is a popular option, but you can also make your own whipped topping using heavy cream and sugar.
  • Add a splash of lemon or lime juice: This will help to brighten up the flavors of the salad and prevent the fruits from browning.
  • Garnish with fresh mint or basil: This will add a pop of color and freshness to your salad.
