"High protein, low calorie. Sometimes I need something sweet. This makes a good snack, better than chips or candy bar. It also sneaks cottage cheese into my sons diet."

I had to have a great snack to keep my sugar from dropping too low last night and this was excellent! I loved the combo of strawberry and pineapple flavors. Healthy, fruity protein treat. Thanks for posting Miss Rat! Made for When It's Hot Tag Game. -
The only thing that i would add is walnuts. It gives another texture dimension. I chop them in a food processor till they are small enough. -
I have been eating this since I was a child every Thanksgiving and Christmas now its my dish to make for the holidays. My grandmother makes it slightly different, we use a full 8 oz container of Cool Whip, 8 oz of cottage cheese 1 small can crushed pineapple (not drained) 1 box cherry jello (sweetened). After mixing all that together real well we add 1 cup of miniature marshmallows and refrigerate over night..

My oldest son (Almost 40) sent me this,and asked if it was the same one he had as a child.It is. He dubbed it "pink stuff".But we didn't blend the cottage cheese, or use sugar free jello.We used regular sweetened jello. It was a great,sweet treat,but not close to healthy!My other 4 kids never tried it, for that reason.

Had a burst of nostalgia and decided to make this salad. Was exactly as I remembered and easy to stir together. I thought the kids would enjoy it, surprisingly they did not. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

<p>Born and raised in Michigan but feel like a southern gal at heart. My parents were raised in Tennessee. I love it in the south, except the heat and chiggers. LOL Am married and have one spoiled teenage son and a sweet little shaggy humane society rescue named Scotty. Edit/also a little spitfire Pomeranian named Callie. I have worked retail for all my adult life. Edit/early retirement! I am trying to learn to cook and am addicted to ZAAR. I also love doing genealogy. It is so exciting to find new leaves on the family tree. We were always told our ancestors were English and Scottish, but it seems we have more Irish than anything else. We are fortunate enough to have had a gggggggrandfather that kept a diary. A lot of information from the 1700's in his 100 page diary. We were alway told that my Dad's ggrandmother was an American Indian but can't find anything to verify this. (Although we though some looked native american) It's alway's exciting to find long lost relatives. <br />One of my pet peeves is people that think it's OK to Say what I think without consideration for anyone else's feelings.</p>
