This easy-to-make simple salad with fruit and jello is refreshing-- the kind you would find on a restaurant's salad bar.

Ingredients
1
large carton cottage cheese
24 oz. (I use small curd 2% or 4% milkfat.)
1
large
16 oz carton Cool Whip
1
large pkg
6 oz orange jello
1
large can
22 oz chunk or tidbit pineapple, drained
1
can
22 oz mandarin oranges, drained
Food coloring
optional
Instructions
Mix first two ingredients.
Stir in jello powder.
Add food coloring if you wish.
Stir in drained fruit.
Serve immediately, or refrigerate no more than a couple of hours.
Do not let sit overnight before serving, or it will get watery. Even if you stir it up, it will still be a little "sloppy."
Do not substitute real whip cream for the Cool Whip-- it won't set right.
Use lemon, lime, or other flavors of jello for a change of pace.
