Notes
- This can be stored in the fridge for up to a week. Cover it with plastic wrap to help prevent it from drying out.
- For best results, make this a day in advance so that the flavors can meld together.
- The mixture will separate some during storage. Simply stir it well before serving to redistribute the ingredients.
- The marshmallows will get much gooier once stored. Don’t be alarmed, this is normal because marshmallows are mostly sugar, and sugar "melts" when it gets moist.
- Swap out various gelatin flavors to change up the entire flavor of the salad. Some people like to use vanilla instant pudding mix in place of gelatin.
- Other popular add-ins are sour cream, yogurt, fruit cocktail, fresh pineapple tidbits, chopped pecans, etc.
