Description

A sweet, creamy, and irresistible dessert salad made with fresh strawberries, whipped topping, and crunchy mix-ins. Perfect for potlucks, parties, or a quick indulgent treat.


Ingredients

Fruits & Mix-ins

  • 500 g fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows
  • 1/2 cup crushed graham crackers

Dressing & Sweeteners

  • 1/2 cup whipped topping
  • 1/2 cup vanilla yogurt or sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar


Instructions

  1. Combine Strawberries and Marshmallows: In a large bowl, gently toss the fresh, sliced strawberries with the mini marshmallows to evenly distribute the sweet pieces throughout.
  2. Prepare the Creamy Mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk together the whipped topping, vanilla yogurt (or sour cream), and powdered sugar until the mixture is smooth and well blended, creating a light and sweet dressing.
  3. Fold in the Cream Dressing: Carefully fold the creamy mixture into the strawberry and marshmallow mixture, ensuring all ingredients are coated without breaking down the fruit.
  4. Add Crunchy Texture: Just before serving, gently stir in the crushed graham crackers to maintain their crunch and add a delightful texture contrast.
  5. Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld and the dessert chill thoroughly. Serve cold for best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Add crushed cookies or chocolate chips for variation.
  • Best served fresh to keep the crunch intact.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.
