I'm getting so excited for Memorial weekend. Each year, Memorial weekend is our first FULL weekend up at our lake cabin, and we look forward to spending it with friends and family. We had big plans this past Saturday to put the finishing touches on everything up there - power washing the deck, getting my flowers planted, installing new solar lights. . .and then we looked at the forecast. Friends, it snowed this weekend. Not even kidding. I wish I was.
Why oh why do I put up with this Wisconsin weather year after year? Why? Because I love my family and they're all here. That's why. All of the seasons here are beautiful, but summer. . .summer is my favorite - and it's the shortest season out of all four. BUT. . .I try and make it last as long as possible.
Today we're making a beautiful and delicious summer salad recipe. This Triple Berry Shortcake Salad is one of the best salads I've ever dreamt up. It's actually inspired by this Circus Animal Cookie Dip my kids adore. Let me tell you what. . .one bite and people will be asking you for the recipe.
Do you know a berry lover? Are you one, yourself? Do you have kids or grandkids that love berries? Yes? Then, you need to make this salad. Don't call it a salad around the children. It certainly doesn't taste like a normal salad. It tastes like dessert and it's so, so delicious. The red, white and blue color is pretty awesome, too, don't you think?
With Memorial Day and the 4th of July coming up this triple berry shortcake salad will impress all of your guests. The bowl you put this salad in. . .well. . .it may just be licked clean. Sorry. Not sorry.
So start your summer party planning and make sure this simple fruit salad is on the menu! Your guests will thank you for it! And don't be shy to send them here for the recipe. . .I'd so appreciate it!! Enjoy!
Triple Berry Shortcake Salad
Ingredients
- 1 box white cake mix
- 12 ounce Cool Whip
- ¾ cup vanilla yogurt
- 1 cup strawberries
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 cup raspberries
Instructions
- In a medium to large mixing bowl combine the cake mix, Cool Whip and yogurt.
- Gently add in the berries and mix well.
- Chill until ready to eat!
Notes
- Consider Cake Mix Variations: Experiment with different flavors of cake mix to customize the taste of your salad. While white cake mix provides a classic base, you can try variations like lemon, vanilla, or even strawberry cake mix to complement the flavors of the berries and add extra depth to the salad.
- Handle Berries with Care: When adding the berries to the salad mixture, handle them gently to avoid crushing or bruising. Wash the berries carefully before adding them to the mix, and consider slicing larger berries like strawberries to ensure even distribution throughout the salad. This helps maintain the integrity of the berries and enhances the presentation of the dish.
- Adjust Sweetness to Taste: Depending on the sweetness of the berries and your personal preference, you may want to adjust the sweetness of the salad. Taste the mixture after combining the cake mix, Cool Whip, yogurt, and berries, and add extra sugar or a drizzle of honey if desired. Chilling the salad allows the flavors to meld together, so adjust the sweetness accordingly before serving.
