This is a variation on the traditional cranberry/pineapple salad; red and green layers with a cream cheese layer in between. My mom makes this at Christmas and/or Thanksgiving and I can't stop eating it. Would be good for potlucks, too. Yum!

Steps:
- First things first. Put your pineapple and oranges in the frig for at least 12 hours. Also, make your Dream Whip ahead of time and let it get cold. Open your Mandarin Oranges and cut each segment in half. Drain the juice from the oranges and pineapple thoroughly. If you do it right, you should get the 2 cups you need for the jello. Drain the liquid from your cottage cheese using a strainer. Heat up 2 cups water and pour it in a very large bowl. Stir in jello mix and then cold liquid from the fruit. Let it set in the frig about 2-3 hours. Remove from frig and mix in the other ingredients in this order. First the fruit. Then you add the mini marshmallows and Dream Whip. Let it set a little more. Then you add the cottage cheese. Mix well between each addition. Let it set overnight. Enjoy.
Tips:
- Use a variety of colors and textures. This will make your salad more visually appealing and interesting to eat. Some good options include red and green grapes, pineapple, oranges, and strawberries.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different flavors. Jello salad is a great opportunity to get creative and try new things. Some popular flavor combinations include fruit and nut, chocolate and peanut butter, and cream cheese and pineapple.
- Make sure your salad is well chilled before serving. This will help it to set properly and prevent it from becoming too runny.
- Serve your salad with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of fruit sauce. This will add an extra touch of flavor and richness.
Conclusion:
Jello salad is a fun and easy dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With a little creativity, you can make a salad that is both delicious and visually appealing. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give jello salad a try!
