In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the lime-flavored gelatin mix with 1 cup of boiling water, stirring until fully dissolved.
Add 1 cup of cold water and stir to combine. Allow the mixture to cool slightly.
In a separate medium mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
Slowly pour the slightly cooled gelatin mixture into the cream cheese, beating on low speed to ensure no lumps form.
Gently stir in the 7 Up soda until fully combined, creating a light and fizzy mixture.
Add the drained crushed pineapple and mini marshmallows to the bowl, folding them in evenly.
Pour the mixture into a 9x13-inch dish or a large serving bowl, spreading it out evenly.
Cover and refrigerate for about 1 hour, or until the gelatin mixture begins to set but isn't fully firm.
Once the mixture is partially set, fold in the thawed whipped topping until fully incorporated, creating a creamy and fluffy texture.
Return the dish to the refrigerator and chill for at least 3 more hours, or until completely set.
Serve chilled and enjoy your refreshing 7 Up Lime Salad!
