The Best Jell-O Salad Ever! Strawberry Jello Salad With Banana
By: BlondieItaliana
Mar 12, 2008
This really is one of the BEST Jell-o Salad Recipes. This recipe came from my mother's cousin Antoinette. This recipe has been popular in her family for over 40 years. It is a delicious treat during the summer months as well as an accompanying Holiday dessert (Color goes well for Holiday dessert table). The recipe calls for real whipped cream, however I'm sure that Cool Whip could be substituted as the recipe probably pre-dates the ease of prepared whipped topping, but I do prefer the original recipe as it just makes it more traditional. Note: I use Strawberry Jello, but I'm sure any kind of berry or cherry flavor would work well too... I also use food processor chopper for preparing the bananas & cherries - I use whisk attachment on electric mixer for preparing the set jello & whipping the cream.

Good recipe, used sugar free Jello to offset the heavy cream and added some Splenda. Nice, light side salad, or should I say dessert!

I have been looking for this recipe for 20 years - thank you so much - I remember not to overblend though as it can become runny - just an FYI for those who have never made Jello recipes before - TY
