Modified Green Stuff - Jello Salad

This is based on Mom's out of This World Salad / Aka Green Stuff 340422. However, I didn't have a banana or Cool Whip, so it came out differently. I made it for Thanksgiving 2013 while DH is on a Zero Fat diet. I should have left out the coconut. Cooking time is minimum chilling time.

• Ready In: 1 hr 10 mins
• Serves: 10

Ingredients

• 1  cup boiling water
• 1 (6 ounce) package sugar-free lime gelatin
• 1⁄2 lb miniature marshmallow
• 1 (6 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained
• 1⁄2 cup  shredded coconut (optional)
• 1 (6 ounce) carton nonfat cottage cheese

Directions

1. Pour boiling water over gelatin & marshmallows. Stir until marshmellows are mostly melted. Add crushed pineapple.
2. Chill until partially congealed. Fold in cottage cheese. Feel free to mix it a couple of times to get the consistency you want. Mine had a tendency for the solution to separate, so I beat it pretty well at the end with a wooden spoon.
