This was delicious--it's very refreshing and it reminded me of my picnics at my grandma's when I was a little girl.

I too, pureed the cottage cheese. I thought only 1 box of jello and 8 oz. whipped topping were necessary; it's a salad- I didn't think it needed to be overly sweet! Just sweet enough.

Yum! I've had this before but never made it myself. What a fabulous healthy way to get in some good ol' cottage cheese! I used 16oz fat free cottage cheese, 1 box of sugar-free/fat-free strawberry jello mix, 1 can of diced mandarin oranges (drained) and some fat-free cool whip. I would have used pineapple but didn't have any. This is as quick and easy as it gets and tasted great! Perfect healthy treat for the kids on a hot summer day. I don't know if it tastes better after it's chilled awhile but it tasted delicious immediately after I made it -which is a big plus! I don't think this is anything fancy for company or anything but it's great to have in the fridge for a sweet treat!

Trying adding sliced almonds for a little crunch! I make mine with light cottage cheese and lite cool whip, sugar free jello. So good!

I love this recipe! I changed the flavor of the Jello from orange to peach and WOW! Just like my Mom used to make! The only thing I did was as others had suggested cut back the Jello a bit since 2 seemed like an awful lot. Great and will be making it again for sure.

Great!!! You can also use sugar-free jello and sugar free Cool Whip and it's just as wonderful.

Great recipe! I followed it as written and loved it. Only thing I might try differently next time is to only use 1 box of jello. After it sat in the frige for a day the jello kind of took it over. Other than that, excellent! Thanks for sharing!

Not very good, I blended the cottage cheese but could still taste it. This was edible but I definately won't be making it again. Also, I suggest dropping the jello down to one package.

A quick and easy salad to throw together. There's another orange salad we like a little better, but this one is good, too, and easier.

This salad reminds me of one my grandma used to make. So creamy and refreshing. It doesn't last long around here. I could eat the whole bowl myself!

I've made this 3X since Thanksgiving and each time to rave reviews. I also added 1/2 to 3/4 bag of mini marshmallows...

This receipe is the bomb, quick and easy! Great to make the evening prior to an event...doesn't take but 10 minutes to make! The Cottage Cheese give it a unique texture. Even my kids love it and they don't like cottage cheese...great way to hide it!

I made this for a family dinner at my in-laws. I added sliced strawberries and doubled the recipe for our large clan. Many of my sister-in-laws asked for the recipe. They were surprised to know that it contained cottage cheese, because many in the family don't like cottage cheese! I took the advice of other raters and pureed the cottage cheese, making a smooth fluffy consistancy. I will definitely use this again, maybe change the flavor of gelatin and the fruit to make something different every time. I loved this super easy salad!

My grandmother made this when I was a child and I loved it, so I was thrilled when I found the recipe on here. It's brought back very fond memories for me. The only thing I change is to blend the cottage cheese in a small food processor before hand, to get rid of the lumpy texture (but that may not bother some people). A very tasty treat for a warm summer day :)

Loved this!! I used fat free whipped topping (12oz) and small curd cottage cheese. Great taste and texture! Can't wait to try some variations!

This was pretty good. I made it with ricotta instead of cottage cheese, because of the texture. The ricotta made it a little grainy, but not lumpy.

Overall not a bad recipe. First, kids definitely did not liked the lumpy cottage cheese. Will blend next time. Second, This recipe does make quite a bit. So I put some of the remaining balance into small popsicle containers, WOW, these are great frozen. Next time I make this recipe, I will definitely serve it as a frozen dessert.

Really good, I drained the cottage cheese, and drained the fruit for a very long time.
