  • 20 ounce Crushed pineapple, (1) can, drained well

  • Remove from the fridge then add the instant vanilla pudding mix and whisk until combined. Return to the refrigerator for an additional 15-20 minutes.
  • Remove from the refrigerator and gently fold in the Cool Whip with a rubber spatula until there are no more streaks of white, do not over mix.
  • Next fold in the fresh strawberries, crushed pineapple, and mini marshmallows.
  • Return to the refrigerator and allow to set for 2 hours so the cream can thicken up.

Christina's Notes

  • Drain Strawberries Well: This is crucial to prevent a watery salad.
  • Fold Gently: Gently fold the ingredients into the Cool Whip to maintain its fluffiness.
  • Chill the Strawberry Salad Before Serving: Chilling allows the flavors to meld and the salad to set.
  • Add Marshmallows Last: Add marshmallows right before serving to prevent them from dissolving in the easter jello salad.
  • Use quality cool whip: Name brand cool whip holds up better than generic brands.
  • Serve this recipe with: Here are more treats for my family loves: Strawberry Crunch Cake, Easy Chicken Cacciatore and Cream Style Corn.
