Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 (3 oz) box lime Jello
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1/2 cup cold water
  • 1 (8 oz) can crushed pineapple in juice, drained, juice reserved
  • 1/2 cup reserved pineapple juice
  • 1 cup small curd cottage cheese
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans

Method
 

  1. Pour the boiling water into a medium bowl, add the Jello, and stir for 2 minutes until completely dissolved.
  2. Stir in the cold water and reserved pineapple juice. Fold in the cottage cheese, drained pineapple, and pecans.
  3. Pour into a 2-quart serving dish, cover, and refrigerate at least 4 hours until firm.
  4. Scoop into bowls and top with extra pecans or a maraschino cherry if desired.

Notes

Chill for at least 4 hours before serving; overnight is even better. The salad can be made up to 2 days ahead.
