Directions
Cottage Cheese Fruit Salad,This is a light fruit salad that goes well with chicken or pork. The cottage cheese keeps it from being overly sweet. Please note prep time includes chilling time. Kids like this, too!,I go to a Friendship Program during the day and one day a staff member had wanted to make a recipe that a companion for one of the other clients had given her & low & behold it was that recipe I have been thinking about looking it up for quite a while now or asking the staff member who has the class for recipe swap but I keep forgetting to do it. Finally I have looked it up.,When I was a kid, my mom always made this with strawberry jello and frozen (thawed and drained) strawberries for bbqs and get togethers and it was always a favorite. Its pretty versatile in that by using a certain flavor of jello and particular fruit you can make different flavors. Just be mindful of the fact that some fruits hold a lot of water and might make your salad runnier (bananas can do this, and grapes when cut in half as well as most types of melon- all secrete water over time) and some fruits have acids that will break down the cool whip and also make it more watery ( pineapples and oranges). Sometimes the canned versions are ok but I drained them well and then pat them dry lightly with a paper towel to reduce that effect.
