Cousin Brenda's refreshing jello salad is a family

favorite, that she brings to all of our family meals. 

 Ingredients: 

2 (3 ounce) packages lime gelatin

2 cups hot water 
2 cups. small curd cottage cheese

6 tablespoons mayonnaise (or plain Greek yogurt) 

2 (8 ounce) cans crushed pineapple 
1 pint (2 cups) heavy whipping cream 

Method:

In a large bowl, dissolve gelatin in hot water. Mix well and set aside to cool. Add cottage cheese and mix. Add mayonnaise (or yogurt) and beat with whip or hand mixer on low setting. Add pineapple, including juice. Beat whipped cream and fold into jello mixture. Refrigerate, in bowl, until set, or pour into a mold or oblong glass dish.

Variations: 

Other flavors of jello, such as orange, raspberry or cherry can substituted for the lime gelatin.

Notes: Brenda's jello salad is a signature dish that she makes in honor of our Uncle, Phil Mehan.

It is a very special favorite of his! I like that it is not overly sweet and that it includes the nutrition of low-fat protein. Absolutely a recipe to share with future generations!
