1 small carton of cottage cheese (small curd)
1 3oz. pkg. orange gelatin (or other flavor)
1 small can crushed pineapple, drained
1 can Mandarin oranges, drained (fruit cocktail works)
1/4 tsp. pineapple flavoring
1 small pkg. whipped topping or Cool Whip.
Sprinkle dry gelatin over cottage cheese
Stir to dissolve.
Add well drained fruits, flavoring, and whipped topping (or Cool Whip, which has been prepared according to directions).
Spoon into pretty bowl and refrigerate until time to serve.
The salad becomes firm, but not hard enough to turn out as molded salad.
Different flavored gelatins, fruit flavorings, and any fruit desired may be used.
