Strawberries and Cream Jello Salad

By srumbel

Here's a yummy salad that came together after some experimenting with strawberries and cream cheese. It really would be the perfect dessert after a yummy dinner with family and friends. For us (living in Utah- the Jello capital of the world), Jello is a definite yes!! We don't even eat it as a dessert- it's more of a side dish for us!
