Notes
Store leftovers in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days. Do not freeze.
Make this a day ahead of time for the best flavor and texture, as the marshmallows will break down and become more gooey upon standing.
Always stir before serving as the ingredients can slightly separate after standing.
Try different gelatin flavors to change up the entire flavor of the salad.
Other popular mix-ins are sour cream, yogurt, fruit cocktail, chopped pecans, etc.
If desired, you can skip the shredded coconut.
