Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 oz Red-flavored gelatin (e.g., cherry or strawberry)
- 3 oz Blue-flavored gelatin (e.g., berry blue)
- 4 cups Boiling water
- 2 cups Cold water
- 2 cups Whipped topping (cool whip or similar)
- 1 cup Strawberries, sliced
- 1 cup Blueberries
- 1 cup Mini marshmallows
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the red-flavored gelatin in 2 cups of boiling water. Stir until completely dissolved, then add 1 cup of cold water. Pour the mixture into a 9x13-inch glass dish and refrigerate for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until set but not fully firm.
Once the red layer is set, spread 1 cup of whipped topping evenly over the layer to create the white layer.
In a second large bowl, dissolve the blue-flavored gelatin in 2 cups of boiling water. Stir until completely dissolved, then add 1 cup of cold water. Carefully pour the blue gelatin over the whipped topping layer to avoid mixing. Refrigerate for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until fully set.
Before serving, sprinkle sliced strawberries on one side of the dish and blueberries on the other side to create the red and blue sections of the salad. Place the mini marshmallows in the middle for the 'white' section of the patriotic theme.
Cut into squares and serve chilled.
