Red, White & Blue Salad ~ a refreshing, patriotic dessert packed with fresh blueberries and strawberries!

I just LOVE this time of year when all the Red, White & Blue posts are coming out of the woodwork like this Red, White & Blue Jello Salad. It makes me so proud to be an American. Corny kind of right?
Well that’s how I roll. A bit corny.
Maybe I just really like themed food. It makes it easier for me to decided each week what to try and make for you guys! I figured this one would be a hit because I know when I saw this pretty salad I got all excited. Yes. Food does that to me.
This salad is a bit of time-consuming thing. Don’t worry it’s not hard by any means. It just takes a little bit of time and patience. I promise you when you walk into your 4th of July party with this beauty and the ooo’s and ahhh’s come out it will be totally worth it. Just plan a few days ahead of time so it has enough to set.

I made this for a Christmas get together using 20 5 1/2 oz cups with lids substituting the blue jello to green jello with no fruit. Turned out really good! Thanks !

The recipe for red,white and blue salad says”add milk and sugar” but doesn’t include milk in the recipe. Can you please tell me how much milk to use. Thanks. The recipe looks delicious. J
