Cottage Cheese
Salad
Lori Albers |
1 large carton creamed cottage cheese
1 small can mandarin oranges, drained well
1 small package orange jello, (dry)
1 small carton Cool Whip |
| Put all ingredients into a bowl and stir by hand until well
blended. Refrigerate.
I used "Sparkling Mandarin Orange Sugar Free Jello" and low
fat cottage cheese and low fat Cool Whip when I brought it to a recent pot
luck dinner and it received rave reviews. I'm sure you could
substitute any flavor Jello with a complimentary fruit. |
