This "retro" salad reminds me of one my mother makes from a 1950s cookbook. I used 16 oz of cottage cheese, 8 oz of Cool Whip, 1 cup of mini marshmallows, orange Jello, and a drained small can of oranges; I think some shredded coconut would be good in this as well. I served it in a Victorian cut-glass dish with a thin layer of chopped pecans and cherries on top. It was a "hit" at a potluck, and six people asked me for the recipe! Thanks for sharing this easy, but delicious, salad!

My mom used to make this every Thanksgiving from the time I was about 11. She got the recipe from her friend Pat, so we used to call it "Pat Salad". She always used strawberry or cherry jello, added extra bananas and chopped walnuts. It has become a tradition in my house and now in my daughter's house as well.
