    I like to call this "Not Your Grandma's Strawberry Fluff Salad Recipe" because it's just a fun thing to call it, but you can name it what you want!

    Strawberry Fruit Salad Recipe

    This Strawberry Fruit Salad Recipe is REALLY good and not at all like that nasty fluff stuff my grandma made with Jell-O and marshmallows...and wasn't there cottage cheese or something in it?

    UGH I hate cottage cheese and was always disappointed when I realized that it was fluff and not my delicious ambrosia salad. Who does that? Cottage cheese? YUCK!
