My family has been making this salad for years, but I never got the recipe. Finally, I have it! The recipe was good, but I altered it a bit for my own taste. I left out the pineapple, and used 24-oz container of cottage cheese instead of 16-oz. I think that was a good change. Also I would like to note that you need to eat this the day it is made-after that it turns into a soupy mess...but that is to be expected with the whipped cream. Delicious recipe, thanks!

This was really good! I just love fruit and cream salads with cottage cheese! I think this recipe lend itself really nicely to a lot of substitution too. I used a soy-based 'whipping cream' b/c we don't have Cool Whip in the UK and you couldn't tell the difference, flavour-wise. I also didn't have canned mandarin orages, so I used canned peaches and some fresh fruit I had on hand to make it healthier (blueberries, diced apples and bananas) plus I added some chopped pecans b/c I love nuts. I only gave it four stars because I think in the future, I might not use the jello. My husband thought it made it taste too artificial, but I really liked it. Anyhow, it was yummy...I can't stop eating it! Thanks!

Reminds me of my grandma. It is an acquired taste I believe. I love it because I am from the north and we had this every few months growing up. However my husband, from the south, isn't a big fan. To each his own =)

My mom used to make this all the time for special occasions. She died this past September 2008, and the family got together for Thanksgiving and we decided to make it in honor of her. We couldn't find her original recipe, so I searched on here and found this one. It taste identical to the one she made. We just added pecans to it. Whole pecans on the top and crushed ones throughout the salad. Yummo!!! I will definately put this one in "my recipe box?.

I love this recipe! It has become a family favorite at Thanksgiving (as it goes great with turkey) but I just took it to friends for a lasagna dinner - and it was great! Easy!!!

If you like cottage cheese, you would give this recipe 5 stars. Having said that, the cottage cheese taste and texture really turned me off on this. Cream cheese would be better for me. Definitely an interesting recipe... I'll experiment!

Based on taste and difficulty I have to give this 5 stars. I've been making this for years now. I was initially concerned about the cottage cheese, but it really adds to the consistancy. Like other reviewers I have changed up the flavor with different Gelatins keeping the pineapple as my constant and adding another fruit to match my chosen Gelatin. This is great for color coded showers in that you can make this almost any coordinating color.

I make this, except I leave out the oranges. It is a great treat when I need something sweet and don't have any chocolate.

This was a great recipe, but instead I made it with cream cheese (softened- and you can use light!). For the holidays I used strawberry jello. It was the best dish of all!!!!

I make this every christmas. My kids who do not like cottage cheese beg for this.I often find an empty bowl in the fridge that santa must have eaten...The only things I have changed is I add an extra can of pieapple tidbits and put an even amount of cool whip and cottage cheese.This was passed down for years. We call it ORANGE DREAM.

I make this recipe all of the time. It's a real hit. The only change that I make is to leave out the pineapples. It is absolutely one of my favorite desserts. I am actually eating a bowl as I type. :)

Admittedly I experimented a little and substituted sour cream for the cottage cheese (texture issues with cottage cheese) and used mango instead of pineapple and the results were spectacular! Refreshing and delicious.

I love this! My mother-in-law introduced it to me and it's a family favorite. We just mix everything together in one bowl, chill, and serve. I usually use sugar-free jello, fat-free cool whip and cottage cheese, and it's nearly as good without the guilt. I've seen a couple of comments about the gelatin... you DO NOT make the jello, you just mix the packet in. Enjoy!

I usually make this without the pineapple. Then my husband, who won't eat anything with cottage cheese in it, will even eat it. Yummy and easy. Use light cottage cheese and cool whip.

My mom has made this Orange Salad for many, many years. I couldn't quite remember how to make it so I found your recipe. It is exactly like mom used to make and oh so delicious! Always has been a favorite of mine, especially during the summer months. Excellent and highly recommended. Don't let the though of cottage cheese in the recipe scare you away! It is delicious!

I used sugar free jello, sugar free Cool Whip and low fat cottage cheese (blended in a food processor to make it creamy). Very good for a low sugar dessert. My diabetic dad loved it!
