I'm prefacing this recipe with I'm pregnant and have some strange cravings these days! I really like the combination of cottage cheese and sour cream. I came up with this salad as a result of looking over oodles of recipes! Any flavor of jello will work - you may want to change the fruit to compliment the jello flavor you are using. **Cooking time is chilling time. Updated - I remade this and agree with reviewer, the jello does need to be dissolved or it will be gritty. This is not a sweet salad, so if you want it sweeter, you would need to use whipped cream or add sugar.
Ingredients:
16 ounces low fat cottage cheese
3 ounces orange jell-o
1 cup boiling water
1/2 cup cold water
1 cup low-fat sour cream
1 cup mandarin orange
1 medium sliced banana
Directions:
1. Mix jell-o with 1 cup of boiling water, then add 1/2 cup of cold water. Refrgerate until slightly set.
2. Mix cottage cheese, and sour cream, then add to partially set jell-o. Refrigerate 2-3 hours.
3. Before serving gently fold in oranges and bananas.
