 Ingredients:

  • 1 container (12 ounces) low fat cottage cheese
  • 1 package (3 ounces) orange gelatin
  • 1 can (8 ounces) crushed pineapple with juice
  • 1 can (11 ounces) mandarin oranges, drained
  • 1 cup whipped topping

Directions: Remember to Wash Your Hands!

1. Combine cottage cheese and gelatin powder in mixing bowl.
2. Fold in pineapple, drained oranges and whipped topping.
3. Chill until serving time.


Helpful Hints:

Kids may tell you they don’t like cottage cheese, but wait until they try this salad. The orange gelatin adds color and flavor and the fruit adds lots of vitamin C. Cottage cheese has less calcium than other cheese because during processing, the whey is drained away, along with about half the calcium! But it still provides plenty of protein,
riboflavin and some calcium!


Safety Tip:

Always wash the lid of canned foods before opening to avoid getting germs in the food. Hold the can under running water or use a clean soapy dishcloth to wipe the lid.
