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.

AMISH DRY LIME GELATIN SALAD / DESSERT (JELLO)



Amish Dry Lime Gelatin Salad / Dessert (Jello) image

Found on www.AmishDining.com. A recipe seldom gets any easier than this one. Kids could make this with just a bit of supervision. My mother used to make something like this that had these same ingredients. This is much like her's, and since she was not a dessert maker, I am sure she would have opted for a simple recipe. Other flavors of gelatin work too, like Cherry and Strawberry which are perfect for Valentine's Day. NOTE: Times do not include the 2-3 hours for chilling time. Servings are approximate.

Time 4h

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 box (3 oz.) orange jello
1 can(s) mandarin oranges
1 c curd cottage cheese
1 large cool whip

Steps:

  • 1. Mix together oranges, cottage cheese, and Cool Whip.
  • 2. Sprinkle jello over and fold in.
  • 3. Let stand for 3 to 4 hours.

Tips:

  • Choose the right gelatin: Unflavored gelatin is the most versatile and can be used in both sweet and savory dishes. Flavored gelatin is a good option for desserts, but it can also be used in salads and other savory dishes.
  • Dissolve the gelatin properly: Gelatin must be dissolved completely in hot liquid before it will set. The best way to do this is to sprinkle the gelatin over the surface of the hot liquid and let it sit for a few minutes before stirring.
  • Chill the salad thoroughly: Jello salad must be chilled for at least 4 hours, or overnight, before serving. This will allow the gelatin to set properly and the salad to develop its full flavor.
  • Garnish the salad: Before serving, garnish the salad with fresh fruit, whipped cream, or nuts. This will add a pop of color and flavor to the dish.

Conclusion:

Dry jello salad is a classic dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With so many different variations, there is sure to be a recipe that everyone will enjoy. Whether you are looking for a sweet dessert or a savory side dish, dry jello salad is a great option. So next time you are looking for a new recipe to try, give dry jello salad a try.
