Pink Salad



I don't know if "pink salad" is the official name of this fluffy, fruity dessert, but that's what my mom always called it. It's a light, low fat snack or dessert. It's something served at a lot of Southern potluck dinners, but everyone has their own spin on it. Here's what I like to do:


12 oz. fat free Cool Whip
1 pkg. Sugar-Free strawberry Jell-O powder
24 oz. fat free cottage cheese
1 small can crushed pineapple, drained well
1 small can mandarin oranges, drained well

Mix all ingredients in a large bowl. Chill for 2 hours before serving. Tip: Sometimes I'll switch out the mandarin oranges for a can of fruit cocktail, or I leave them out all together. It really depends on what I have on hand.
