Notes
Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days in the fridge. I do not recommend freezing this recipe.
Want a stronger lime flavor? Drain the crushed pineapple before adding to the bowl and add in 2 tablespoons lime juice.
If you don’t prefer sour cream, you can use cottage cheese in its place. This ingredient cannot be fully omitted without being replaced.
Allowing the fluff salad to sit overnight is my preference because it allows the salad to reach its best flavor potential. It’s still delicious if served immediately, but it’s definitely at its best after being in the fridge a few hours.
You can use regular white mini marshmallows in place of the fruity marshmallows, if need be.
Do not prepare the jello before using. You only need to use the powder.
