STRAWBERRY SALAD DESSERT

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, mix together flavored gelatin with boiling water and stir until dissolved. Stir in cold water and frozen strawberries. Chill until slightly thickened to the consistency of egg whites. If adding lots of frozen strawberries, it may reach this stage while stirring.
• Cut cake into cubes, or just rip it into bite size chunks and trim off the dark brown edges. Gently fold in frozen whipped topping and cake into the strawberry mixture. Chill until set. Decorate top with any extra topping and strawberries.

STRAWBERRY SALAD

Steps:

• For the salad: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. In a small bowl, mix the ramen noodles, almonds, sunflower seeds and melted butter. Transfer to a baking sheet and toast in the oven, stirring occasionally, until browned, about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
• Tear the lettuce and combine with the spinach, strawberries and cheese in a large salad bowl.
• For the dressing: Dissolve the sugar in the vinegar. Combine the oil, paprika, salt and garlic and then add to the sugar-vinegar mixture. Mix well and store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
• Just before serving, sprinkle the crunchy topping over the salad green and toss the salad with enough dressing to coat the greens.

STRAWBERRY JELLO SALAD

Steps:

• Using a strainer placed over a bowl, drain the strawberries and pineapple, reserving 2 cups of the fruit juice.
• Dissolve jello in boiling water.
• Add 2 cups reserved fruit juice. (If you do not have enough juice from the fruit, add cold water).
• Add the sliced bananas, drained strawberries, and drained crushed pineapple. (IF you are not using the sour cream, mix in walnuts, then pour entire batch into 9x13 dish and skip to final step).
• Pour half the jello mixture into a 9x13 dish.
• Refrigerate until set. Do not refrigerate the remaining jello mixture in the bowl-otherwise it will begin to set.
• Spread set layer with the sour cream and sprinkle with walnuts (if using). Pour remaining jello mixture over sour cream layer.
• Refrigerate several hours. This sets up best overnight.

FROZEN STRAWBERRY SALAD

Steps:

• Drain pineapple.
• In a large bowl, cream together the sugar and cream cheese.
