Made with your choice of fruit-flavored gelatin, this dessert salad is packed with juicy pineapple chunks, fresh strawberries, and sweet banana slices, all brought together with a cloud of miniature marshmallows and whipped topping. Itβs the perfect make-ahead dish, requiring just 15 minutes of prep before chilling in the refrigerator for a refreshing, set-and-forget treat.

In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the gelatin powder in the hot water by stirring for 2 minutes until completely dissolved.
Stir in the cold water and mix well. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature, about 10-15 minutes.
Prepare the fruits by draining the canned pineapple chunks, slicing fresh strawberries, and slicing the banana into bite-sized pieces.
Once the gelatin mixture has cooled, fold in the pineapple chunks, sliced strawberries, and banana slices.
Gently mix in the miniature marshmallows and whipped topping until evenly distributed.
Pour the mixture into a 9x13-inch glass dish or salad bowl, spreading it out evenly.
Refrigerate the mixture for a minimum of 4 hours, or until the gelatin is fully set.
Once set, the Fruity Jello Salad is ready to serve. Scoop and enjoy!
