Refreshing Strawberry Rhubarb Salad

Submitted by Debs Cookin

"This is the next best thing to Strawberry Rhubarb Pie and a great way to use all the rhubarb coming in from the garden. You can use fresh or frozen strawberries or rhubarb so you can enjoy it all year long. I like to use sugarfree jello, but the regular jello works as well."
