🥄 Thaw frozen whipped topping overnight in the fridge for the best whipped texture when mixing the dressing.
🥛 For a lighter version, substitute vanilla yogurt or blended cottage cheese for the sour cream to reduce fat content.
📦 This salad improves as it chills, so prepare it up to 24 hours ahead for the softest marshmallows and most balanced flavor.
