BERRIES AND CREAM SALAD

Berries and Cream Salad made using just 4 ingredients! Raspberries & Blueberries combine with Greek Yogurt, pudding mix and whipped topping to create a lovely creamy berry salad.

Berries and Cream Salad is a wonderful recipe perfect for a picnic, Sunday dinner, or anytime you just want to add something special to your meal. The Greek yogurt, pudding mix and whipped topping come together and create a light and creamy base for showcasing the bright, sweet berries. In the recipe I use frozen berries but you’re welcome to use fresh. I used raspberries and blueberries, but I think it’d be wonderful with blackberries, cut up strawberries- or a mix of all of them!

If you use frozen berries, don’t worry about thawing them beforehand. When I make the salad, I generally take the bags out of the freezer about 10 minutes before putting them in the salad, so they’re still mostly frozen. However once you mix the ingredients together, the berries thaw quickly, so you can serve the salad immediately. It also works just fine to put the salad together a few hours- or even a day- ahead of time. The berries thaw and flavors blend in the salad beautifully. Just give it a quick stir before serving. The dry pudding mix works to thicken the salad too, so don’t worry about the berries thawing and the salad becoming soupy- trust me, it all works together perfectly!

This recipe is a variation of a very popular recipe on our site, Raspberry Jello Salad. It’s another super simple recipe that we often have to go along with Easter dinner! Everyone loves berries in our family and I appreciate that on a day where I’m spending a lot of time in the kitchen, there is at least 1 recipe that comes together really fast. This Berries and Cream Salad has double the berries- and it tastes just as good!

Berries & Cream Salad Ingredients

• 1 box (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
• 32 oz. container vanilla Greek yogurt
• 8 oz. container Cool Whip (thawed)
• 2 12-oz bags frozen berries*

How to make this Berry Salad

1. In a large bowl, combine the pudding mix and the Greek yogurt, stirring until well mixed.
2. Fold Cool Whip into the mixture.
3. Lastly, fold in the berries.  I had set mine out for about 10 minutes before making the salad, but you can put them in frozen and they will thaw very quickly so you can serve the salad right after mixing.
4. If you don’t serve the salad immediately, store in an airtight container in the fridge. When you’re ready to serve, give the salad a quick stir and top with additional berries, if desired, to garnish.

*I used frozen raspberries and blueberries in my salad, but you’re welcome to use fresh berries if you’d like. You can also try using diced strawberries, blackberries or a combination of all 4 varieties!
