Island Pineapple Cottage Cheese Salad image

If you like the combination of pineapple and cottage cheese, you'll like this simple & tasty gelatin salad.

Categories     Pineapple

Time 3h20m

Yield 1 salad, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 (3 ounce) package island pineapple flavor Jello gelatin
1 cup boiling water
1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple in juice
1 cup small curd cottage cheese

Steps:

  • Pour the Jello mix into a heat proof bowl, about 4 cups in size. Carefully pour in the boiling water and stir until gelatin is dissolved. Refrigerate about 50 to 70 minutes. You want the gelatin to be liquid enough to easily stir things in thoroughly, but stiff enough to suspend things evenly without separating into layers.
  • When the gelatin is about the right consistency, stir in the cottage cheese and the pineapple with all of the juice. Stir until everything is evenly and thoroughly mixed together. Cover and chill until firm, about two hours.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh pineapple for the best flavor. If using canned pineapple, drain and rinse it well before using.
  • Use full-fat cottage cheese for a richer flavor and texture. If you prefer a lighter salad, you can use low-fat or non-fat cottage cheese.
  • For a sweeter salad, add a tablespoon or two of sugar or honey to the dressing.
  • If you don't have any maraschino cherries, you can use chopped walnuts or pecans instead.
  • Serve the salad immediately or chill it for later. It will keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

This cottage cheese and pineapple salad is a delicious and refreshing side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like it sweet, tangy, or creamy, this salad is sure to please everyone at your table.
