This Red, White, and Blue Jello salad is a fun dessert perfect for the 4th of July. Doesn’t that just look like it was made for a 4th of July celebration?
My kids love this jello salad and with the colors and fresh fruit the 4th of July is a great time to make it.
Now, this is not a dessert I would make everyday, but this is a great celebration, picnic, or barbecue type recipe. And this makes quite a lot, so this would serve a crowd.

This looks so yummy! Do you think it would work if I subbed greek yogurt for the sour cream?
Yes, I think that would work. The taste might be a little different, but I think it would work.
