Lime Jello Dessert - A Cool Treat For Dinner Or Snack

This is a very easy to make and favorite jello salad my family has used for years. If we don't have it planned for every holiday or a family dinner, everything stops so we can run and get the ingredients so we can make it. Friends ask for the recipe all the time and love it so much, I decided to share it with you. It has many fun possibilities, so go buy the Jello, Cool Whip, Cottage Cheese, Pineapple, and any of the other things I've listed, and start creating.

Follow these instructions:

JELLO

1. Sprinkle a 6 oz package of Lime Jello into a 9 oz tub of Cool Whip.

2. Mix well, being sure jello is completely dissolved.

3. Add a 16 oz container of either regular or low fat Cottage Cheese.

4. Add a well drained large can of Pineapple chunks

5. Mix well, put into a nice serving dish and refrigerate.

That was the basic recipe.

Here, are some very interesting other things to add to it make it even more spectacular.

1. Substitute any flavor Jello

2. Use a non-dairy topping instead of Cool Whip

3. Instead of Pineapple, use:

- fresh or canned peaches

- fresh strawberry slices

- fresh raspberries

- fresh blueberries

- Kiwi Fruit

- fruit cocktail

- Mandarin Orange Slices

- If you think I missed something and want to add it, do it.

4. Then add one or more of the following to add eve more pizzaz:

- mini-Marshmallows

- mini-Chocolate Chips

- White Chocolate Chips

- a well drained jar of Cherries

- chopped nuts (any kind you like)

- Coconut

- Sprinkles

- Yogurt (why not?)

See the possibilities? They are endless and all, yummy!
