COTTAGE CHEESE JELLO SALAD

HOW TO MAKE COTTAGE CHEESE JELLO SALAD

One of the best things about this quick and easy recipe is that you don’t even need to measure anything.  You literally just combine a can of drained crushed pineapple (don’t forget to drain the juice off or your salad will end up soupy), a carton of cottage cheese, and a box of your favorite Jello flavor.  Then fold in a tub of Cool Whip until combined and pop it in the fridge for an hour!

I would say it’s a one-bowl recipe, except I always mix it in a larger bowl, then transfer it to a smaller serving bowl for a cleaner, prettier presentation.

I think this is best alongside a burger, chips, and baked beans.  It really goes with anything, but those flavors are forever entwined in my memory of summertime!
