Being from Utah, I have fully embraced the jell-o eating, loving stereotype we are known for. This dish can be served as a side to dinner or saved for dessert depending on your personal preference.
It comes together in about 15 minutes and rarely has any leftovers to put back in the fridge. My boys love this stuff! You can make it stretch further by adding more cool whip and marshmallows, if you want or need to. Originally this recipe called for cheesecake jell-o. I didn’t have that on hand one day and ended up swapping it out for vanilla instant pudding. Turns out, my immediate family likes it better with vanilla.
You can’t go wrong either way. As long as strawberries are in season, I highly recommend this dessert salad.
