I was reviewing my Recipe Box, and discovered that somehow this Strawberry Banana Salad recipe had been left out. What a shame! It is delightful, and one of our Easter favorites and therefore warrants reposting! I didn’t want any of you to miss out on this one. This salad, is always on my Grandmother’s Easter table. In fact, in my mind, Easter isn’t Easter without it. I guess it’s almost like Easter in a spoon for me. How could you go wrong serving strawberries and bananas, swimming in real sweetened whipped cream? Yeah, I know…. it’s more like a dessert in disguise than a salad; but if you want to argue with Grandma Daisy, than you go right ahead and try. I think I will just sit back and enjoy my excuse to eat dessert for dinner. Sounds pretty good, don’t you think?
Strawberry Banana Salad
Ingredients
- 2 16 oz. cartons of strawberries
- 3 bananas
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tsp. vanilla
Instructions
-
Wash and slice strawberries. I line a colander with paper towels and place the sliced strawberries on top to soak up any extra water. Can't let that whipped cream get watery can we?
-
Peel and slice bananas.
-
In a mixing bowl, beat whipping cream, sugar, and vanilla until soft peaks form.
-
Place strawberries and bananas into a serving bowl. Pour whipped cream on top and gently fold.
-
Serve or cover and refrigerate until serving. However, this isn't a recipe that keeps well (usually there isn't any left anyways), so you will want to serve it pretty quickly.
Recipe Notes
I like more strawberries than bananas, but change the fruit to suit your taste. Also, mine was a little heavy on the cream, so there is extra room for another banana or a few more strawberries if you want to stretch it out a little more. But I'm telling you, it's pretty perfect just the way it is.
Now you know what’s on our Easter table! What’s on yours?
