Lime Cottage Salad

"This is a refreshing summer salad that goes with just about anything. This does not have as many ingredients as some do, but it is sooo good, and very easy to make as I usually have all three of the ingredients on hand most of the time. It is a pretty green and I just love it. We all do. I make it all year long. If you make it with the sugar-free jello and low-fat cottage cheese, it is a great Weight Watcher dish. I have used both kinds, and they both taste the same. It has only 1-2 points per serving."

  1. This is the best! We've called it George's Green Jello as it was a family favorite. No family get-together was complete without this salad. It may sound weird with the combination of foods, but it is refreshing, delicious, and healthy.

  1. My mom makes this every year for the holidays. But we add crushed pineapple, and fresh green grapes. and then fold in whipped heavy whipping cream. It's my absolute favorite!
