Ingredients
- 1 (8oz) can of crushed pineapple drained
- 1 (3oz) package of lime jello
- 1 cup boiling water
- ⅓ cup Miracle whip
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1 cup pineapple juice and water combined
Instructions
- Start by opening the can of crushed pineapple and straining the contents well. Be sure to save the juice for later use.
- In a medium-sized bowl, pour in the boiling water and add the lime jello mix. Stir until the jello is completely dissolved.
- Next, add the miracle whip to the bowl, and using a whisk, mix until the ingredients are well combined. The miracle whip adds a delightful tanginess to the salad.
- It's time to incorporate the crushed pineapple and cottage cheese into the mixture. Gently fold them in, ensuring an even distribution throughout.
- To add a burst of pineapple flavor, take the reserved juice and pour it into a measuring cup. Fill the cup with water until it reaches the 1-cup mark. Add this mixture to the jello salad and mix thoroughly.
- Once all the ingredients are well combined, transfer the jello salad mixture to a refrigerator-safe dish. Allow it to chill in the fridge until the jello is fully set.
- Finally, take a moment to appreciate the anticipation as the flavors meld together and the jello sets into a wobbly, delightful treat.
- When the jello salad has set, it's time to enjoy it! Serve it as a refreshing side dish, a light dessert during warm summer days, or a nostalgic treat anytime you crave a taste of grandma's kitchen.
