Ingredients
1 package 3 oz strawberry gelatin mix
1 package 3.4 oz instant vanilla pudding mix
1 can 20 oz crushed pineapple, well drained
1 container 8 oz whipped topping, thawed
2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
2 cups mini marshmallows
1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut, optional
1/2 cup chopped pecans, optional
1/2 cup extra sliced strawberries for garnish
Instructions
1. Add the strawberry gelatin mix and instant vanilla pudding mix to a large mixing bowl and stir until evenly combined.
2. Stir in the well-drained crushed pineapple until the powders begin to dissolve and the mixture looks evenly coated.
3. Fold in the thawed whipped topping gently until the base turns smooth, creamy, and pink.
4. Add the sliced strawberries and mini marshmallows, then fold gently until evenly mixed.
5. Fold in the coconut and pecans if using.
6. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
7. Stir gently before serving and garnish with extra sliced strawberries.
Notes
Drain the pineapple very well so the salad stays fluffy instead of watery.
Chill the salad for at least 1 hour so the marshmallows soften and the flavors blend.
Add fresh strawberry garnish right before serving for the prettiest presentation.
