Mandarin Orange Salad
This is a good cool congealed salad to have with supper. My sister Sherri doesn’t like the texture of cottage cheese, so she puts the cottage cheese in a blender when she makes this.
To cut calories and make this a bit more tart, omit the marshmallows.
Ingredients
6-oz. package (8-serving size) orange Jell-O
1 (8-oz.) carton Cool Whip, thawed
16-oz. container cottage cheese
1 15-oz. can Mandarin oranges, reserving liquid
1/2 bag small marshmallows

Mix liquid from Mandarin oranges plus water to make one cup liquid and Jell-O in a small saucepan. On low heat, stir constantly until Jell-O is dissolved, and add marshmallows. Stir again until marshmallows are melted, then remove from heat. Cool pan in sink of ice water until it thickens slightly. Mix together remaining ingredients. Chill.
