I don't think I have had this since a company picnic as a child. I was always excited to find the mini marshmallows.
Virginia @thatbaldchick says
My mother in law makes a similar strawberry fluff, but it doesn't look so creamy. This I must try.
Mommy Has A Life says
I love summer picnic food! I have seen this several times and always wondered how it was made, thanks for sharing 🙂
TerriAnn @ Cookies & Clogs says
Sounds so refreshing and I love the addition of pineapple with the strawberries. It always gives that tropical feel!
Jennifer @ Mom Spotted says
I like Jell-O but I can't eat it when it's mixed with fruit for some reason.
Rachel @RunningRachel says
Oh my goodness... my boys would EAT THIS JELLO SALAD RIGHT UP!! 🙂
Kaitlyn says
Looks yummy! Do you have to use the crushed ice?
Robin Gagnon says
You can add a smaller amount of cold water instead (about 2/3 cup-3/4 cup). It will just stake longer for the Jello to set up.
Melissa says
Um, YUM! I would just gobble this up!

My grandmother used to make this but it was green. Now I am starting to wonder if it was like green bean fluff salad.

Don't laugh, but I've always wondered how to make this kind of jello salad, and never took the time to look it up. Thank you so much for sharing this. Now I can make this perfect summer dessert treat for my family.

Um can you say YUMMMM??! I totally need to make this strawberry fluff, I know my daughter would be a big fan!
Notorious Spinks says
I love strawberries. Would love to taste this fluff.
Kathleen says
Can you make it without pineapple? Would you have to change liquid amount?
Thanks!
Robin Gagnon says
It would alter the liquid amount and the texture of the pineapple would be lost. Maybe mashing a few extra strawberries would make up for the pineapple.
A says
Silly question, do we actually make the pudding (with milk)/and ehatnot or just use the mix and mix it in with the pineapple? Thanks!
Robin Gagnon says
Not a silly question at all. You don't need the milk.
A says
Thank you!
