    crushed pineapple

How To Make quickie salad

    Use a large bowl with a lid. Drain off the juice from the canned fruit. Pour cottage cheese, canned fruit, and jello into the bowl and mix together until well blended.
  • 2
    Fold in cool whip until well blended. Use gentle folding motion (my husband whips it together also and still gets good results as well).
  • 3
    Chill up to two hours. Serve cold.

    Try other combinations using different fruits and jello flavors for variety.
