Creamy Vanilla Berry Salad

by Jamie

I have a super easy, super fast, super delicious, crowd pleasing recipe for you all today. I love a recipe loaded down with those features, don’t you? Especially during the summer months. What is it about summer that keeps us running in 790 directions every day? I’m sure I don’t know all the reasons but I have a sneaking suspicion it has something to do with school being out and children lurking around every corner at all hours of the day and night. 🙂 Just a simple guess.

Here are some important facts about this creamy salad of wonder.

1. You will only need 4 ingredients and 10 minutes to make it a reality.

2. It can be made up to 24 hours in advance.

3. Your kids will love it. It’s got kid appeal written all over it.

4. Your parents will love it! It is not designed for children only. This is an equal opportunity blog, after all.

5. Your big buff neighbor and his grumpy dog will love it, considering it is really more like a dessert than a salad. What can I say, here in Utah we like to eat creamy sweet recipes like this with our meal and call it “salad”. It’s a great place to live, truly. 🙂

Hope you make it and love it, gang! Throw it together for your upcoming Fourth of July party. You won’t be sorry!

PS…I will be taking Friday off due to the holiday, watch for July’s Menu Plan coming up Monday morning.

3. Find some beautiful berries. You can use fresh or frozen berries that have been thawed. You’ll want to use about 2 cups of berries to stir into the creamy mixture, and about 1 cup to place on top for a pretty display.

Add the berries  to the vanilla cream mixture. Stir them in, just until combined.

Ooh, that does look good! It is kind of desserty, but it’s mainly yogurt and berries. Health food! Saving this one. Thanks.

I’ve been making this for years. It is so yummy! I’ve never tried it with fresh fruit, only frozen. I’m excited to try that out. Happy Independence Day!

I had a package of banana vanilla pudding on hand and used that. My husband said what he liked the most about it was the banana flavor.

Love love love this recipe! It’s a huge hit with everyone. We changed it up and did bananas and strawberries. Had to make multiple batches! Thank you!
