2 tablespoons flour
1 egg

This was quick to fix, pretty to look at, and delicious to eat! I made it exactly the way the recipe read!Putting a dollop of Cool Whip on the top is a nice touch!

Great recipe! I even serve it with just a Cool Whip topping and my guests rave about it. The combination of fruits makes it a must-have on a warm summer day!

I made this simple jello salad for an afternoon tea fundraiser. Was nervous offering a jello salad with fancy sandwiches and cookies, but the ladies raved about it!
this is a gerat receipt but also try folding in cream cheese instead of cool whip. this gives it a great flavor.
