oh... that's not a salad, that's a scrumptious dessert! Sounds really good!!! I think it may join my list of foods this year. Thanks for posting, I was about to ask you about that.

I had heard that a strawberry salad went over so big at a Sheltie Specialty many years ago, that there were a zillion requests for the recipe, so the host club printed the recipe in the newsletter.

I tweaked the recipe and swopped the strawberries and strawberry jello for raspberry.

I think it is so funny that son #1's mother in law now HAS to have that salad/dessert at her holiday dinners too.

We have had this dish at every thanksgiving and Christmas dinner for about 10 years. Maybe more, I loose track of time

I thought I had heard something about a strawberry jello pie...but that sounds even better!
