FAQs
Can I use fresh blueberries instead of canned pie filling?
Fresh blueberries can be used, but the pie filling provides a syrupy sweetness and thick texture that holds the salad together. If using fresh berries, consider adding a bit of blueberry jam or a sweetener to compensate.
How long should I chill the salad before serving?
Chilling for at least 30 minutes is recommended to allow the flavors to blend and the marshmallows to soften slightly, creating the best texture and taste.
