Green Gelatin Salad

Filed under: Fruits, Recipes, Salads, retro food — Retro Food

This is a classic or retro cookery-Green Jell-o with cottage cheese and pineapple. If that isn’t enough to tickle you-it also has marshmallows and Dream Whip!

1/2 c. crushed pineapple
1 pkg lime gelatin
1/2 c. water
1 c. cottage cheese
1 c. marshmallows
1 c. dessert topping mix, prepared (Dream Whip)

Drain pineapple, reserving 1/2 cup juice. Combine gelatin, water, and juice. Boil for 5 minutes. Cool. Add pineapple, cheese and marshmallows. Allow to thicken slightly. Fold in topping mix. Chill.

  1. I’ve eaten this salad a few times just to be polite, and I always thought it would be better without the cottage cheese.

  2. I can’t have things in my jello. I can have cool whip on top but not fruit or anything. It scares me.

  4. cottage cheese should not go inside of jell-o next to it is ok, maybe, if you have to but not in the jell-o.

    yukky.

    But it probably is better than asparagus in the jell-0
