Jello Salad

Not alot of people agree with mixing multiple ingredients in a jello based dish, but I promise if you try this, you may think it's one of the best you've ever tasted.  It is fairly easy to make and really is not overly time consumming.

You will need 1 large or 2 small boxes of lime Jello brand jello.
Mix according to box directions, except when adding the cold water decrease it by 1/4 cup.
Allow jello to set-up to the stage where it just begins to jiggle, approximately 1- 1: 1/2 hours, keeping an eye on it.  Just at the stage where it's jiggling you will take a fork and gently mix it up so it looks like fractured glass.  Add a small container of cool whip,  1 cup of cottage cheese, and a small can of crushed pineapple (with the juice drained off) and a cup of mini marshmellows, just fole these ingredients in, then return to the frig to allow the jello to set-up solid.  THIS IS A GREAT ACCOMPANIMENT to any meal.  Enjoy!
