How to make a Mandarin Orange Salad

Everyone will love this fruit salad which tastes more like a dessert than a salad. It will take you less than five minutes to prepare this salad. I make this salad at Thanksgiving, Christmas & Easter and there is never any left over.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Two cans of Mandarin Oranges
• One large box or two small boxes of orange flavor Jell-O mix
• One large container of cottage cheese (fat free or low fat)
• One large container of Cool Whip (store brand works well too)

1. Drain mandarin oranges and empty them into a large bowl.

2. Add both packages of dry orange Jell-O, the cottage cheese and the thawed Cool Whip. Mix well after each addition.

3. If desired you can add 1/2 cup of shredded coconut and/or 1/4 cup of finely chopped pecan, mixing well after each addition. Place in refrigerator and serve cold.

Tips & Warnings

• Be sure the cottage cheese and Cool Whip are cold before adding them to the mixture.
• Keep refrigerated until serving time.
