Cottage Cheese Salad

Here's another cool summer salad that takes minutes to make and can be made ahead of time as well.


2 cups of thawed whipped topping
1 and 1/2 cups of small curd cottage cheese
1 small pkg. of jello any flavor
1 small can mandarin oranges drained
1 small can crushed pineapple drained
1/4 cup chopped walnuts optional


Fold thawed whipped topping and cottage cheese together, sprinkle the dry jello over top and stir in gently. Fold in fruit and nuts and put it into a shallow small 8x8" glass cake pan. Chill thoroughly and cut into squares when ready to serve.
