Each month I prepare recipes for a local food pantry basket distribution. This is one of the recipes.
8 oz. container Cool Whip (store brand is fine) – thawed
1 – 20 oz. can crushed pineapple – drained
1 large can mandarin oranges – drained
12 oz. cottage cheese – no fat or low fat is fine
1 small pkg. orange jell0
Mix whipped topping with cottage cheese. Mix in DRY jello. Stir until blended. Add the pineapple and oranges. Chill in the refrigerator.
This is great cool summer salad or dessert. Also a good breakfast.
You can use various flavors of jello and other fruits if desired. Adding minature marshamallows is also fun.
