Fluff Salad Ingredients

Most fluff salads include these 5(+) ingredients:

  2. A creamy element: Yogurt, Cream Cheese, Cottage Cheese
  3. Whipped Topping (Cool Whip) or Real Whipped Cream
  4. Fruit – Fresh, Frozen, or Canned
  5. Extras: Miniature Marshmallows, Nuts, etc.

If you’re a fan of cottage cheese and fruit, I have three jello fluff salads that feed a crowd and are sure to please: Raspberry Fluff, Orange Fluff, and Pink (Multi-Fruit) Fluff. The cottage cheese makes it creamy without being too sweet and gives it added texture.

Of course if you like more gelatinous jello fruit salad this Strawberry Pretzel Salad is great too! There are so many jello salad recipes to try!
