Servings: 5
Calories: 212kcal
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Cool Whip, thawed
- 3 ounces strawberry jello powder
- 1 cup cottage cheese, low-fat small curd
- 1 cup crushed pineapple, drained
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, capped and thinly sliced (optional garnish)
- 1 strawberry, thinly sliced (optional garnish)
Instructions
- Using a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the thawed Cool Whip and the jello powder until the jello powder begins dissolving and the mixture is smooth.
- Fold in the cottage cheese, drained crushed pineapples and the sliced strawberries.
- Garnish with thinly sliced strawberries. Serve immediately, or cover and keep refrigerated until you are ready to serve.
Notes
- The low-fat small curd cottage cheese has very little excess liquid. If you choose to use a large curd cottage cheese, you may need to drain it before adding to the jello mixture.
- Stir all of the ingredients together carefully as you don’t want to break apart the fruit pieces.
- If you have the time, allow this salad to chill for at least a couple of hours in the fridge. This will allow the flavors to mingle together in your salad.
