A refreshing not too sweet salad with crunch, one of my favorites!
Bring the juice from the mandarin oranges and enough water to make one cup to a boil. Mix with Jell-O. Add softened cream cheese and mix until dissolved; let set until slightly jelled. Add the rest of the ingredients. Of course you may substitute other flavors and fruits, but this is a favorite of mine.

Dissolve jello in boiling water. Drain pineapple well, reserving the juice. Adding enough water to pineapple juice to make 3/4's cup of liquid. Stir in mixture.
When preparing a congealed salad recipe (using jello or gelatin), all ingredients can be doubled except: salt, vinegar, and lemon juice. For these use only 1 1/2 times the given amount, but no more, or your salad won't congeal.
Dissolve Jello with 2 cups hot water. Let cool. Add remaining ingredients. Chill.
Recipe for Cheese Salad. Soak gelatin in cold water for 5 minutes. Place pineapple, lemon juice, and sugar in a pan and heat to boiling. Remove and add dissolved gelatin and flavoring.

Combine the dry Jello and Cool Whip together. Blend by hand until the Jello looks dissolved and well mixed. Add the cottage cheese, fruit cocktail and pineapple. Cover and refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
