1 cup crushed pineapple, drained
2 cups fresh strawberries, diced
1 cup mini marshmallows
½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
1 cup sour cream or plain Greek yogurt (for extra creaminess)
Instructions
- Prepare the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine whipped topping, strawberry gelatin mix, and sour cream (or Greek yogurt). Mix until smooth.
- Add Fruit and Marshmallows: Gently fold in crushed pineapple, diced strawberries, and mini marshmallows, ensuring everything is coated evenly.
- Add Nuts (Optional): If using, stir in chopped pecans or walnuts.
- Chill: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld and the salad firm up.
- Serve: Scoop into bowls or a serving dish. Garnish with additional strawberries or nuts if desired.
Notes
Variations: Try adding shredded coconut for a tropical twist or swap strawberries for other berries like raspberries or blackberries. Nuts are optional, but pecans, walnuts, or slivered almonds add a nice crunch.
