Strawberry Fluff Salad that Kids Love!
Strawberry Fluff Salad sweet and simple dump salad that kids love! It’s a recipe I have been making for many years and it is a regular salad at our home.
It is so unbelievably simple and quick to make. Sometimes you just need to have something like this that you can quickly put together that is liked by many people, especially kids. I served this to my boys when they were growing up and now my grandchildren. It is great for a side dish at home, for snacking, or for a potluck. Either way, the bowl will be empty soon.
The Ingredients and Mixing
It has 3 simple ingredients, whipped topping, strawberry gelatin, and strawberries. The whipped topping needs to be thawed. You pour in the dry gelatin and mix it well into the whipped topping. If you mix it in a bowl that has a lid, you get a lot fewer dirty dished too.
You can use fresh strawberries that are sliced, or you can use frozen strawberries that are drained. Then fold them into the whipped topping and gelatin mixture.
The gelatin does not set up or get thick. So, once it’s all mixed it is ready to eat immediately.
Other Variations
You can add marshmallows and other fruits if you’d like a variation. I have added blue berries to the strawberries and that was really great!
I have also made an Orange and Cream Salad version of this recipe by substituting orange gelatin and 2 large cans of mandarin oranges, drained instead of the strawberry gelatin and strawberries. That’s even quicker and easier to make.
Well, there you have a super-fast and delicious Sweet and Simple Strawberry Fluff Salad that kids love. At times, we all need dump salad recipe that is a kid favorite and to keep handy for times when we need something quick to accompany a weeknight meal or when we’re just too busy to create something that requires more time and more effort to it.
