A bit healthier version of a classic jello salad.

This Raspberry Jello Salad is a Borgstede/Schultz family tradition for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and any other time we have an excuse to make it. The ingredients for the topping sound unusual, but trust me, it’s yummy!

The original salad calls for sour cream but I’ve substituted plain Greek yogurt with little taste difference. I’m all for attempting a clean eating version but haven’t figured that out yet. Any ideas?

Mix together marshmallows and sour cream or Greek yogurt and allow to sit overnight.

The next day, whip the topping.

Enjoy!

We make a low-protein version for Zack by leaving off the topping and putting plain marshmallows on his.

Genya, you could certainly use either sweetened or unsweetened applesauce. I think I’ve used whatever I had on hand. I would probably use unsweetened if given the choice, since it’s pretty sweet already.

And one more question sweetened or unsweetened applesauce?

Question…. Do you drain the raspberries?

Hi Genya, No, do not drain the raspberries. The liquid from them is part of what you need to set the jello. Enjoy!
