DRY JELL-O SALAD (JELLO) COTTAGE CHEESE FRUIT SALAD



Dry Jell-O Salad (Jello) Cottage Cheese Fruit Salad image

I could eat the whole bowl by myself! This is a great recipe for those who don't like Jell-O since you use it dry and it gives a totally different texture than traditional Jell-O salads. Hint: if you use orange flavored Jell-O use mandarin oranges instead of pineapple.

TIP: If you like it more fruity, use less cool whip. If you like it more creamy, use more cool whip. Also, you can "holiday" it up or customize it just by changing flavors. For Christmas, use green jello and add cherries. For Halloween, use orange jello and add mandarin oranges, etc.

COTTAGE CHEESE FRUIT SALAD



Cottage Cheese Fruit Salad image

Some members of my family aren't big cottage cheese eaters but I happen to love it. I know this is a common recipe, but given I can get my family to eat it, and my daughters to waste no time to emptying the bowl, I thought I would post it. My Mama made this back when I was in high school and we just always loved it.

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 large container cool whip, not the huge one but the one right under
1 large container cottage cheese, the largest one they sell
1 box 4 oz. jello, i used tropical fusion in this picture
1 large can crushed pineapple, drained
1 small can mandarin oranges, drained

Steps:

  • 1. Mix everything together and allow to chill in refrigerator for atleast an hour before serving.
  • 2. You can use any flavor of jello that you choose, experiment!

Tips:

  • Choose Fresh, Ripe Fruit: The quality of your fruit will greatly impact the overall taste of your salad. Select ripe, in-season fruits that are free of bruises or blemishes.
  • Use a Variety of Fruits: Don't be afraid to mix and match different fruits to create a colorful and flavorful salad. Some popular options include berries, melon, citrus fruits, grapes, and tropical fruits.
  • Prepare the Fruit Properly: Wash and cut the fruit into bite-sized pieces. If using berries, gently rinse them under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
  • Use High-Quality Cottage Cheese: Opt for a smooth, creamy cottage cheese that is made with whole milk or 2% milk. Avoid low-fat or non-fat cottage cheese, as it can be too dry and crumbly.
  • Sweeten to Taste: If desired, add a little bit of honey, maple syrup, or sugar to sweeten the salad. Start with a small amount and adjust to your liking.
  • Chill Before Serving: Refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the salad to become more refreshing.
