This salad is a great way to use up leftover whipped cream. I always have a little bit of whipped cream left over after making a cake or pie, and this salad is a great way to use it up.

This salad is a great way to get your kids to eat fruit. My kids love the berries and the whipped cream, and they don't even realize they're eating healthy.

I'm not a huge fan of jello, but I really enjoyed this salad. The berries and the whipped cream help to balance out the sweetness of the jello.
