Ingredients

Requires a minimum of: (makes 8 to 10 servings)

1 container of Cottage Cheese, small curd (Low-fat is ok)

3/4 small box of Strawberry Jello, gelatin

For potlucks (serving approx 14): 1.5 containers of cottage cheese, 1/2 of large box of Jello, 2 cans of crushed pineapple, 3 cans of mandarin oranges & 1 container of cool whip

Tips

I like to make this salad a few hours in advance or the night before.

Drain the fruit well & before serving may need to stir again.

Directions

First spread out cottage cheese in a large casserole dish. Sprinkle a layer of Jello over the cottage cheese (3/4 of bag is good). Then refrigerate for a minimum of 10 to 15 minutes (its up to you how long). Remove from fridge once the Jello has soaked into the cottage cheese; Mix well. Next drain very well the pineapple & mandarin oranges. Add to the Cottage cheese; Mix well. Add the cool whip (be sure it is not frozen first) & mix well. Next refrigerate until ready to serve.

Its up to you if you would like to top a thin layer of cool whip on top & decorate with sliced fruit like strawberries :-)

Serving Size: 14-16 servings or large scoops
