Dessert salads are fun and tasty dishes! They are often made with sweet ingredients like jello (which is also called jelly), whipped toppings, and lots of different fruits. Sometimes, they even include vegetables or mayonnaise!
You might find these salads at a buffet or a cafeteria. They are also very popular at potlucks and parties because they can be made before the event. This makes them easy to share.
Even though they have "dessert" in their name, these salads are not always served as a sweet treat after a meal. Sometimes, they are served with the main meal, just like other salads. The ingredients can be fresh fruits and vegetables, or they can come from cans.
