Delicious! I've made it many times but couldn't remember the measurements today, so I decided to go look it up. If you don't like the texture of cottage cheese, you can use softened cream cheese that's been whipped til it's smooth. I like to throw in some chopped walnuts to mine.

I made this twice. The first time was delicious as I expected it would be but quite runnier than I expected. Jello doesn't thicken up unless you dissolve it, so here's what I did the second time. When I drained the juice from the fruit I heated it in the microwave for about 1 minute. Then I dissolved the jello in the juice and mixed it with the fruit, then the cottage cheese and chilled it for about 1/2 and hour. Then I folded in the whipped topping and and chilled for several hours. I found the results to be much more like I expected them to be in the first place. The choice is yours. Play around with it, but I will make this recipe again and again. I plan to try other jello flavors and fruit combos as others have suggested. Enjoy!!!

Only thing is you MUST use sugar-free orange jell-o, but I also add chopped walnuts & shredded coconut! Nom nom nom!

This is one of my husbands favorite desserts. His family also adds 1/2 bag of mini marshmallow to the mix.

I've been making this for years...everyone always raves about it; it's tasty, light and refreshing. On occasion, I've made this with all reduced calorie products and it tastes just as great. There's no messing this up...any fruit or gelatin will work!

I came searching for this recipe after having eaten it at many church parties and showers. If you like cottage cheese you'll love it. It is (I think) a pretty healthy salad and yummy too. Some people get scared of the lumps (I used large curds) but usually when they taste it they like it. I loved it! :)

I made this a few times and got different reactions. When my extended family ate it, they all liked it very much. When I took it to a church picnic and people didn't know that the lumpy parts were cottage cheese, they didn't like the texture. I think had people known what the lumpiness was they would have liked it but those who didn't know got an "attitude" about the lumpiness and didn't continue eating it. I liked it.

I have made this several times and it is always a hit. It is simple and delicious. Different fruits can be added and the flavor of gelatin can also be changed easily for variation. I often don't even add the pineapple and just stick to the orange. Either way, it is always delicious!
