Lime Jello Salad (1968)

This is a recipe from my grandma Ella but I changed the name.  It was originally called “Salad for Dinner.”  I have guessed on what a box of cottage cheese is and made it with about 1 1/2 C. regular cottage cheese and Cool Whip or Dream Whip works fine in place of Lucky Whip. 

1 pkg. lime jello
1 C. hot water
1/2 C. cold water
1/2 pkg. miniature marshmallows
 1 small can crushed pineapple
1 box small curd cottage cheese
 1 pkg. Luck Whip

Dissolve jello in hot water.  Add marshmallows and refrigerate until set.  Add pineapple.  Fold in cottage cheese and prepared Lucky Whip.  Then refrigerate.
