This festive congealed salad makes a colorful addition to any holiday meal and can also double as a dessert.

Dissolve two small packages of low-calorie strawberry gelatin with one cup of boiling water.

Fold into the gelatin mixture the following ingredients:

one package (10 ounces) of frozen sliced strawberries, thawed

one package (10 ounces) of frozen sliced blueberries, thawed  (May substitute an additional ten ounce package of frozen strawberries.)

Reserve the juice on both packages of frozen fruit, or this salad won’t congeal.

one can (1 pound, 4 ounces) crushed pineapple, drained.  (Again, make sure to drain the liquid, or the salad will end up with too much liquid.)

three medium bananas, mashed

one cup coarsely chopped pecans or walnuts

Combine gelatin with boiling water, stirring until dissolved.  Fold in strawberries, blueberries, pineapple, bananas, and pecans.  Pour into a casserole dish.  Refrigerate until firm.  

I’ve received compliments every time I’ve served this salad.
