Once in a while a recipe becomes a great fall back when in a pinch.  This salad is one of those and is well liked.

“The Pink Stuff,” named as such by our Springs First Singles’ group several years back, can actually be any color, depending on your choice of Jell-O mix.  I usually chose strawberry, cherry, or black cherry, thus the reason it became “the pink stuff.”

Ingredients:

• 1 3-oz. pkg. Jell-O Mix (any flavor)
• 1 20-oz. can crushed pineapple (drained)
• 1 11-oz. can mandarin oranges (drained)
• 1 8-oz. container Cool Whip
• 1 16-oz. container Cottage Cheese

Directions:

Mix Jell-O of your choice with the cottage cheese and cool whip, allowing the Jell-O to dissolve and combine well.  Add pineapple and oranges.  Mix well.  Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes before serving.
