This old fashioned strawberry tapioca salad — aka pink fluff — is made with small pearl tapioca, strawberry Jell-O, Cool Whip, and fresh strawberries. A classic potluck and Easter side dish the whole family loves.
Boil the water and salt and then add the pearl tapioca. Stir regularly to keep the tapioca from sticking to the bottom. When the pearls are soft and clear, remove from heat.
To the hot tapioca, add the jello. If adding sugar to make sweeter, stir in now too. Then cool in the refrigerator for several hours.
When completely chilled, stir in one cup of fresh strawberries along with the 8-ounce container of cool whip. Place in a serving bowl.
Top with more cut berries. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
