This is a very refreshing recipe that I have made for years with some slight variations: Strawberry or Strawberry/Banana jello with drained pineapple tidbits, or another very nice combination is using lime jello with the pineapple. The combinations are endless. I've even added chopped nuts and marshmallows. In all my combinations, though, I've always only needed 1 box of jello instead of 2.

Good recipe. Only change we made was to cut the jello down to one box instead of two. Thanks for sharing.

We really liked this recipe but I think next time I will reduce the amount of whipped topping, and add some more cottage cheese, since this seems to be the only way my children will eat cottage cheese. Thanks D!

Everyone at the party loved it and wanted the recipe. Although I only used 1 can of mandarin oranges and 1 pkg of gelatin (per my printout) it was still was very good and easy to make. It did get a little stiff after sitting, but if actually used 2 can of oranges, I'm sure it would be just right.

I thought the consistency would have been thicker. Nonetheless, it was wonderful and very refreshing as it was made for my daughter's 2nd birthday party on a 90 degree day.

Really tasty and refreshing. I used sugar-free gelatin and "light" whipped topping and it was a bit too sweet for my taste. Next time I might add a squeeze of lemon juice and maybe some coconut or toasted nuts. Everyone raved about it, especially the family diabetics.

Made this for my family's 4th of July cookout. Everyone but my son, who does not like pinapple, loved it! Great success, and everyone wanted the recipe. Very easy to make, only had a small problem draining the pinapple well but I didn't have a problem with the dish being "watery".

I used this at my wedding as a side dish on the buffet line. It goes a long way and we found it froze well. In calculating the recipe for 150 people we realized you don't need to use so much whipped cream. But, overall it was a big hit!

This is so YUMMY!!! I made it twice, the second time I used chunk pineapple, because I couldn't drain the crushed enough and the salad was a little watery. Everyone gobbled it up, and it was a cinch to make.

This orange gelatin salad was extremely easy to make, even in very large quantites. My husband loved it so much, he ate it for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks until it was gone. The party I made it for absolutely loved it and everyone was asking for the recipe!!
