Jell-O (Cottage Cheese) Salad

My mother in-laws recipe. So yummy!



1 of the larger sized containers of cottage cheese (2% milk fat is the best)
1 8 oz container of cool whip
1 can of mandarin oranges (for orange salad) / OR a package of frozen raspberries (for pink salad)
1 small package of orange Jell-o (for orange salad) / OR raspberry Jell-o (for pink salad)
I small can of crushed pineapple (that is optional, most people like it, I usually leave it out)

Basically mix all ingredients together in a large bowl, adding the fruit last so it doesn’t completely fall apart. You CAN eat it right away, but it’s better if you let is chill/set in the fridge for a couple hours (or overnight) for the best results.
