Orange You Glad Salad

I love asking people about their staple dishes or what they're making that week for dinner. I'm always down for new recipes - I'll try any recipe once and am always looking for that next best recipe to add to our signature line up. My sister-in-love Amy and I were chatting the other night, and she had this mandarin orange salad on deck - a Hank's family staple. I seriously could not keep the spoon out of the bowl as I was putting it in the refrigerator. It makes a ton so plenty to share at a party or with your lunches all week. Here we go:

Ingredients

8 oz. lite cool whip
16 oz. low fat cottage cheese
3 oz. package orange Jell-O (keep as powder)
20 oz. can crushed pineapple, drained
15 oz. can mandarin oranges, drained and roughly chopped

Directions

Fold first three ingredients in a large bowl together and mix well. Remember: You're adding the Jell-O to the cool whip and cottage cheese in powder form. Mix in your drained pineapples, and drained and roughly chopped mandarin oranges. Refrigerate prior to serving.
