Welcome to All Things Delicious [January Edition]
Share your Favorite Salad Recipe!
Call me a minimalist if you’d like, but the honest to goodness truth is that the recipes that I use all the time, the ones that my kids will eat, are simple, simple, simple. So, I debated…should I share a recipe that I make once a year? Or should I share a recipe that I use ALL. THE. TIME. I chose to share the one that I make a lot. I got this recipe from my mother in law, and it only has three main ingredients! Gotta love that. It isn’t a “healthy” salad recipe though, so forgive me for that. It is delicious though! 
Cottage Cheese Fruit Salad
1 carton cottage cheese
1 3 oz. pkg. jello any flavor
1 9 oz. tub of cool whip
My kids favorite fruits to add to this are bananas and pineapple, but you can add all sorts of fruits.
Combine all ingredients into a bowl and stir until jello is dissolved.
Add fresh fruit of your choice.
Example: sliced bananas, crushed pineapple, strawberries…etc. Yum!
Now it’s your turn to share your favorite salad recipe!
Yummy!! I love all kinds of fruit salad.
I'm on my phone, but was still able to link up my very favorite salad recipe from a past post I did. It's called Chopped Salad. It's always a huge hit with everyone.
My family LOVES this salad. When I was a kid we ONLY made it on Thanksgiving… I don't know why. I make it on a somewhat more regular basis. Our standard is with sugar free orange jello, low fat cottage cheese, pineapple tidbits, bananas and mandrin oranges. Almost exactly the same as yours!
Awesome! One of my girls doesn't like cottage cheese, so we do a different fruit salad.
ooh i like the sound of this! i think i'll try it with sugar free stuff and try it! Thanks for sharing
I make this ALL THE TIME for my family. We've used so many different concoctions, but my families favorite is lime jell-o with crushed pineapple. Also, I always use sugar-free jell-o and fat free cottage cheese, and fat-free cool whip and I can't really tell a differnce and neither can the kids so I feel a lot better about it!:)
I'm definitely going to have to try this! Thanks for sharing!
Oh, this is one of my favorite fruit salads! Great idea and I think we will be making it tomorrow!!
My mother use to make something very similar to this when I was little and I loved it! Thanks for posting! You never realize how much fruit salad is a Utah thing until you move out of Utah. lol!
OMG – I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Cottage Cheese Salad. It is a huge favorite in my family, yet my husband thinks we are all crazy. I love orange jello with mandarin oranges or cherry jello with pineapple.
We make a very similar recipe in our family but add marshmallows & nuts!
Awesome! My fave too! It's almost exact but we put marshmallows in ours.
I love this salad and we call it Mormon Fluffy Salad… because you always see it at a Mormon potluck!! I like to add the type of fruit to the salad that is the same as the jello… i.e. raspberries with raspberry jello..
I just made this and it is DEEEElicious!!! Best part is, I used fat free cottage cheese, sugar free jello and light cool whip, so it totally fits in with my weight watchers plan and doesn't blow my points for a really yummy treat!!
I grew up eating this salad, it's the BEST! We always had mandarin oranges and cut up grapes in ours. I especially love strawberries in it as well.
