7-Up Salad

I must admit that although I am from a state where Jello is jokingly (or maybe seriously) known as a staple--I'm not such a huge fan of Jello salads. This salad is a HUGE exception! It is one of my very, very favorite salads. It goes perfectly with a nice Sunday dinner. The 7-up adds a great little kick to the jello and I love the bananas and the whip cream topping that goes on the top. This has become a favorite around our house--especially with the little ones. This would be a great addition to an Easter dinner if you're looking for something new to shake up your meal.
