I made one change to this recipe and that was adding a half package of mini marshmallows to the salad when I folded in the sour cream. The recipe dosen't specify using low sugar or lighter products but I did use sugar free Jello and reduced fat sour cream. This was really yummy!

This is a great recipe! I've made a double batch in a large bowl for both of my kids' graduation parties; it has been devoured both times. It is very easy to make and very tasty!

This was a big hit! I only had a 3 ounce package of gelatin so I also used a 3 ounce package of instant vanilla pudding. I bet its great either way!

I was hoping for something better, I guess. Easy to make, so that is a plus.

Made this twice now ...Easter and Christmas. I've always made something similar only with cool whip....yuck...oil. Love the sour cream! I've always for some reason used Strawberries, but used Raspberry Jello...very good combination. Good with and without banana. Thanks for sharing this very nice jello salad. Will continue to use this recipe every Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter. I'd like to try...crushed pineapple/lime or lemon jello. Canned mandarin oranges with Orange jello. EDIT..If you let the jello and fruit mixture thickin a little in the fridge for about an hour to an hour and a half, the sour cream mixes much better. I have a problem with the fruit going to the top and the sourcream to the bottom. Hope I explained myself well enough :)

I grew up with this and couldnt find it in my recipe box...thanks for posting. Growing up we didnt add banana....just strawberries. Must say I enjoy it both ways.

I loved this recipe. I made it by the directions and it was great. I wouldn't change anything.

Refreshing! My 2 yr. old doesn't like the jiggly texture of jello yet, but loves this, since it is so creamy. I used plain yogurt in place of sour cream. If someone doesn't like the chunks of sour cream, all they have to do is mix it in with the banana mixture before stirring into jello mixture. We like using blackberries rather than strawberries. I've also made it with orange jello and blueberries. Yum!

I didn't think this recipe was anything special, but it was good. I used sugar-free jello & fat-free sour cream, so I gave it 4 stars over 3 since it was tasty for how low-cal it was. Good, but not amazing.
