Ingredients
- 8 ounces Cool Whip thawed
- 3 ounces strawberry Jello powder
- 1 cup cottage cheese low-fat, small curd
- 1 cup crushed pineapple well drained
Optional Garnishes
- 1 cup fresh strawberries capped and thinly sliced
- 1 strawberry thinly sliced
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the thawed Cool Whip and the gelatin powder until the powder begins to dissolve and the mixture is smooth.
- Gently fold in the cottage cheese, drained crushed pineapple, and sliced strawberries until evenly combined.
- Top with thinly sliced strawberries, then serve right away or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Notes
- If you’re using large curd cottage cheese, you may need to drain off any excess liquid before adding it to the gelatin mixture.
- Stir the ingredients gently so the fruit holds its shape and doesn’t break apart.
- If you have time, chill the salad for at least a couple of hours in the refrigerator to allow the flavors to blend together.
