Notes
Wait until just before serving to add the marshmallows to prevent them from getting too soggy before they even reach the plate.
To make Strawberry Blueberry Salad ahead of time:
It is easy to make ahead. As long as you leave the dressing off, you can prep the berries up to 4 days ahead of time.
How to Store Blueberry Salad:
The mixed berry salad will stay fresh for up to 5 days in the fridge. However, the dressing will make the berries get soggy pretty quickly.
If you anticipate leftovers, store the dressing and fruit separately. The dressing will keep a little longer than the fruit.
