Ingredients

• 1 Qt. fat free cottage cheese
• 1 large or 2 small sugarfree Jello mixes*
• 1 tub of lowfat or sugarfree Cool Whip
• chopped nuts (optional)

• 1 or 2 cans of canned fruit or 1 to 3 pieces of fresh fruit, chopped (depending on which fresh fruits you use)

*Any flavor Jello will do, but buy the same like flavor (Ex. 2 strawberry, or 2 orange, etc.)

My fruit choices sometimes match the Jello flavor (Ex.: mandarin orange slices and drained crushed pineapple with orange Jello. Or drained fruit cocktail with lime Jello.) With fruit cocktail, no more fruit is necessary unless you want to add it.

Directions

DO NOT mix Jello to package directions. In a large bowl, stir by hand, all ingredients. This is the fastest salad I can make and can be made up in a moments notice, if need be. Can be eaten for any meal as a entree, salad, snack or dessert. Can easily be duplicated or tripled.

You don't have to use sugarfree ingredients in this, if you choose not to.
