THE BEST JELL-O SALAD EVER! STRAWBERRY JELLO SALAD WITH BANANA
This really is one of the BEST Jell-o Salad Recipes. This recipe came from my mother's cousin Antoinette. This recipe has been popular in her family for over 40 years. It is a delicious treat during the summer months as well as an accompanying Holiday dessert (Color goes well for Holiday dessert table). The recipe calls for real whipped cream, however I'm sure that Cool Whip could be substituted as the recipe probably pre-dates the ease of prepared whipped topping, but I do prefer the original recipe as it just makes it more traditional. Note: I use Strawberry Jello, but I'm sure any kind of berry or cherry flavor would work well too... I also use food processor chopper for preparing the bananas & cherries - I use whisk attachment on electric mixer for preparing the set jello & whipping the cream.

Steps:
- 1. Heat jello water according to directions adding jello powder and disolving. DONOT add cold water to heated mixture as direction tell you to. The frozen strawberries added make up for this. Add all ingredients to jello remembering to drain pineapple. The nuts are optional but are very good in this. DONOT add whipped topping and IMO/sour cream. Put 1/2 Jello mixture in a pretty clear bowl and put in fridge to set. Leave remaining out until the one in fridge is set up. I then mix 1/2 whipped topping with 1/2 IMO this makes a cream cheese tasting mixture that you spread on top set jello. ( for holidays I color this topping green or red) Place unset jello on top the spread on topping mixture. Then return to fridge until set. Complete by topjping off with either plain whipped topping or the remaining mixture of IMO and Topping. I then sprinkle nuts on top for a pretty look.

Steps:
- Combine water and jello mix until combined. Add strawberries and stir until the berries are thawed. Add mashed bananas to the jello mixture. Place sliced bananas in bottom of 8x8-inch glass dish and pour 1/2 jello mixture on top. Refrigerate both jello mixtures until firm (at least an hour). Top the jello in the glass dish with cool whip and spoon remaining jello on top. Refrigerate again until firm and serve.
Tips:
- Use ripe strawberries and bananas. This will ensure that your salad is sweet and flavorful. If your strawberries are not ripe, you can sweeten them by adding a little sugar or honey.
- Cut the strawberries and bananas into small pieces. This will make them easier to eat and will help them to distribute evenly throughout the salad.
- Use a high-quality gelatin. This will help your salad to set properly and will give it a smooth, creamy texture.
- Chill the salad for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the gelatin to set completely and will make the salad easier to slice.
- Garnish the salad with fresh mint or whipped cream. This will add a pop of color and flavor.
Conclusion:
Strawberry banana jello salad is a classic summertime dessert that is both refreshing and delicious. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and festive treat that will be enjoyed by people of all ages.
