There's absolutely no way we were able to have 15 servings from this 'salad' but we didn't let that bother us from enjoying a nice, comforting treat like this! I'm a big jello fan anyway, & with that & the cottage cheese & orange combo, well . . . ! VERY, VERY NICE! [Tagged, made & reviewed for one of my adoptees in the current Pick A Chef] -
Love this. Added coconut flakes.

Mandarin oranges are not a fave of a family member, so when they visit I make mine using black cherry jello and a 15 oz. can of dark sweet cherries, drained. I also leave out the pineapple. Everything else is the same. They love it and it gives us a break from the mandarin orange version.
