Berry Bomb Pop Fruit Salad https://www.juliehoagwriter.com/2019/06/17/easy-4th-of-july-desserts-red-white-and-blue/
Ingredients:

• 2 c. cut up strawberries
• 2 c. blueberries
• 2 c. blackberries
• 8 single bomb pop popsicles cut up
• You must serve it immediately as the popsicles will start to melt. This dish is still good once the popsicles melt however as the fruit becomes coated in popsicle juice, which is yummy! But, it's really fun to eat it while the popsicle chunks are still present.
  
  No Bake Dessert Salad for the 4th of July https://www.juliehoagwriter.com/2018/06/03/easy-no-bake-dessert-salad-for-the-4th-of-july/
  Ingredients:
• 4 c. strawberries, cut up
• 2 c. whipped topping (Cool Whip®)
• 1  gelatin box (6 ounces), blue in color with 1 1/4 c. boiling water to prepare gelatin
• 1 c. small marshmallows

Prepare the Jello Jigglers ® recipe from the box: which is 1 1/4 c. boiling water to 6 oz. blue gelatin. Stir to dissolve, follow the directions on the package. Pour liquid gelatin into a small loaf pan and let it sit in the fridge for 3 hours. Meanwhile, cut up the strawberries into pieces for 4 c. strawberries. Once the gelatin has set, after about 3 hours, loosen it around the edges with a knife and scoop it out onto a flat surface. Cut it into bite-size pieces. Add it to a large bowl. Add the strawberries and marshmallows to the bowl and stir gently. Add the whipped topping and stir gently. Serve immediately. It is best to make it fresh and eat it fresh for the best results.
