COTTAGE CHEESE JELLO SALAD

Wow, talk about an easy salad to make this is it! Now, my Grammie didn't have a name on this recipe so I just gave it a name. I remember eating this jello when I was a kid. I love that it has cottage cheese in it and it is light, creamy and just the right amount of sweet. It would be great to be served at Easter time or any...

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.

  • Variety of fruits: Use different types of fruits to create a colorful and flavorful salad. Some popular choices include strawberries, blueberries, grapes, pineapple, oranges, and bananas. You can also add nuts, such as chopped walnuts or pecans, for an added crunch.
  • Use low-fat cottage cheese: Low-fat cottage cheese is a good source of protein and calcium. It also helps to thicken the salad and make it creamy.
  • Use unsweetened gelatin: Unsweetened gelatin is a healthier option than sweetened gelatin. It also allows you to control the sweetness of the salad by adding your own sweetener, such as honey or maple syrup.
  • Chill the salad before serving: Chilling the salad helps to set the gelatin and firm up the salad. It also makes it more refreshing.
