Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1 cup whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
- 1 cup crushed graham crackers
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (optional)
Instructions
- Prep your strawberries: Start by washing the strawberries thoroughly under cool water. Pat them dry gently with a clean towel, and then slice off the green tops before slicing the strawberries into bite-sized pieces.
- Mix the goodies: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced strawberries, mini marshmallows, and granulated sugar (if using). Stir gently until everything is coated.
- Whip it good: In another bowl, spoon in your whipped topping. Fold the whipped topping into the strawberry mixture using a spatula.
- Add the crunch: Mix in the crushed graham crackers and toss in the nuts if you’re including them.
- Chill it out: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and place it in the fridge for at least an hour.
- Serve and enjoy: Scoop the salad into individual bowls or a large serving dish and top with graham cracker crumbs or whole strawberries if desired.
