Ingredients

  • 3 ounce box lime Jell-O
  • 16 ounces Cool Whip or similar
  • 20 ounce can crushed pineapple undrained
  • 2 cups fruity mini marshmallows
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine the lime jello and whipped cream. Stir until no white streaks appear.
  • Add the remaining ingredients and stir until combined
  • You can serve the salad immediately, but it is best if it is chilled first. Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour, but overnight is even better.
  • Garnish with additional whipped topping, marshmallows, fresh lime slices, and/or a cherry if desired.

Notes

  • Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days in the fridge. Freezing is not recommended.
  • Do not prepare the Jello before using. You only need to use the powder.
  • Want a stronger lime flavor? Drain the crushed pineapple before adding to the bowl and add in 2 tablespoons lime juice.
