Ingredients
Scale
Salad Base
- 8 ounces frozen whipped topping, thawed
- 3 ounces orange gelatin mix (Jell-O)
- 16 ounces full-fat cottage cheese (small or large curd)
Fruit and Mix-ins
- 14 ounces mandarin oranges, drained
- 20 ounces crushed pineapple, drained
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
Instructions
- Combine whipped topping and gelatin: In a large bowl, stir together the thawed frozen whipped topping and the orange gelatin powder until well blended and smooth.
- Fold in cottage cheese and fruit: Gently fold in the cottage cheese, mandarin oranges, crushed pineapple, and mini marshmallows into the whipped topping and gelatin mixture, ensuring everything is combined evenly without deflating the fluffiness.
- Chill and serve: You can serve the salad immediately or cover it and chill it in the refrigerator until ready to serve, allowing the flavors to meld and the gelatin to set slightly.
- Enjoy: Spoon into serving dishes and enjoy this light and fruity dessert salad any time.
Notes
- Make sure to thaw the frozen whipped topping completely before starting for best texture.
- Draining the mandarins and crushed pineapple well is key to prevent the salad from becoming too watery.
- Feel free to substitute mini marshmallows with regular size cut into smaller pieces if needed.
- This salad is best served chilled and can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- For a lower fat version, use low-fat cottage cheese and reduced-fat whipped topping.
