Tip: spread your Cool Whip over the bottom of your bowl and sprinkle the Jello overtop. Let sit for a minute to dissolve and then stirring is easy!

Dump in entire 24 oz tub of cottage cheese and stir until fully combined.

Tip: Try different flavors of Jello to create a unique flavor twist! One of Grant’s other favorites is Lime Jello!

Drain pineapple tidbits and mandarin oranges in strainer before adding to salad. Stir until fully combined.
