Strawberry Nut Jello Salad
This is a Hoesterey family holiday favorite that came from my mother-in-law’s cousin from Virginia. My internet research tells me that this is a southern classic, appearing on sites like Southern Discourse with the subtitle “A Southern Tradition”.
Don’t let the term “jello salad” scare you. This is worth a try.
