Heavenly Pink Salad

If you want to make a nice fluffy sweet pink salad, this will do it. It has fruit and just the right amount of fluff to make it super tasty.

Pink salad that’s both dessert and a side dish

Jell-O salad (also called gelatin salad) is a salad made with flavored gelatin, fruit, and sometimes grated carrots. Other ingredients may include cottage cheese, cream cheese, marshmallows, nuts or pretzels.

For example, a jello salad might have green from a lime-flavored gelatin, white from bits of cottage cheese, and orange from fruit cocktail, or red from the jello itself.

Therefore, it has a “salad appearance” (small pieces of food all mixed together) but is fluffy and light in texture. Its ingredients can be changed up to make it a little sweeter for a dessert or less sweet as a side dish.

Are there substitutions you can use?

This “pretty and pink” salad is tasty and great to look at just like it is, hence the name “pink salad”. However, if you don’t like the pink color you could substitute the red jello with lime, orange, or even blue!! It will have a different appearance but the texture should have the same fluffiness.

Select your type of cottage cheese based on the amount of milk fat: regular cottage cheese, lowfat or reduced fat cottage cheese, and nonfat or dry curd cottage cheese. The taste and texture might be different based on your selection. You can use small curd cottage cheese in place of large curd, but the taste will be the same.
