EASIEST CREAMY, FRUITY JELLO SALAD EVER!


We've enjoyed this easy, fruity JELLO SALAD for many years.  It's a favorite for family reunions, or for occasions when time is short and yet we want a good people-pleaser.  To assemble, just thaw a tub of cool whip, and add a package of any desired flavor of dry JELLO, a tub of cottage cheese, and then any extras you want--mandarin oranges, sliced bananas, berries, etc.--you decide what you like best, This recipe is my particular favorite--orange JELLO with crushed pineapple and mandarin oranges.  Quick and easy, and sure to please!

ORANGE CREAM COTTAGE CHEESE FRUIT SALAD
1 8-oz. tub Cool Whip, thawed
1 16-oz. tub cottage cheese
1 small pkg. orange JELLO (my sister uses a large pkg)
1 15-oz. can crushed pineapple, drained well
1 can mandarin oranges, drained well
In a serving bowl, combine dry JELLO and cottage cheese.  Blend well.  Fold in thawed Cool Whip, stirring gently, until blended.  Add drained fruit.  Chill.   NOTE:  Other combinations we like:  lime JELLO with crushed pineapple, strawberry JELLO with sliced bananas, raspberry JELLO with whipped cream and fresh raspberries on top.
