2. Next, add the package of frozen strawberries to the dissolved Jell-O mixture, along with the drained crushed pineapple, gently stirring until all ingredients are well combined. This fruity blend will infuse the salad with a burst of vibrant flavors and textures.

3. Once the mixture is evenly combined, carefully pour it into a 9×13-inch glass pan, ensuring an even distribution across the pan’s surface. This will be the foundation of your delightful salad creation.

4. Now, it’s time for the crucial step of refrigeration. Place the prepared pan into the refrigerator and allow it to chill until fully set. This typically takes around 4 hours, but you can check periodically to ensure it has reached the desired firmness.

5. While the salad sets, let’s prepare the indulgent topping that will elevate it to the next level of deliciousness. In a separate bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, vanilla extract, and sugar, mixing until smooth and creamy. This luscious topping will add a creamy, tangy contrast to the fruity base.

6. Once the salad has set and is firm to the touch, carefully spread the prepared topping over the jello layer, ensuring it covers the entire surface evenly. This layer adds a luxurious richness that perfectly complements the sweetness of the fruit.

7. To serve, simply cut the salad into squares using a sharp knife, and plate each portion with care. The vibrant colors and tantalizing flavors of Grandma’s Salad are sure to impress your guests and leave them coming back for more.
