EASY STRAWBERRY JELLO SALAD WITH COOL WHIP
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.

Tips:
- Use fresh fruit. Fresh fruit will give your salad the best flavor and texture. If you can't find fresh fruit, you can use frozen or canned fruit, but be sure to drain it well before adding it to the salad.
- Choose a variety of fruits. The more variety of fruits you use, the more flavorful and visually appealing your salad will be. Some good combinations include strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, bananas, grapes, and pineapple.
- Don't overcook the gelatin. If you overcook the gelatin, it will become tough and rubbery. Be sure to follow the package directions carefully.
- Chill the salad before serving. This will help the gelatin to set and the flavors to meld.
