Be sure you really squeeze the moisture out of the pinneapple, if not it can be a little runny. I made that mistake on my first try too.

This was VERY good and tasty.. mine came out kinda runny(i don't know what I did wrong..LOL) but it was still good and the kids really liked it and they DO NOT like cottage cheese and they didnt even know it was in there. a very good way to hide cottage cheese!!!

To prevent your salad from being "RUNNY", cut the amount of cottage cheese AND pineapple to 8 oz. each. I've been making this recipe (with 8 oz of the above ingredients instead) for years and it comes out wonderful every time!

Very easy and tasty. I took it to a covered dish party and there was none left. The only thing I added was a half cup of chopped pecans.

I have made this recipe for years also. Always a big hit and so easy. I use an electric mixer and the cottage cheese becomes smoother.

I have been looking for this recipe..thanks for posting. I use sugar-free jello and light cool whip. A fairly healthy snack with protein to boot!

Pretty good! I liked it, but my husband didn't, so i've almost eaten the whole recipe myself!!! I couldn't find a 12 oz. cottage cheese, but found that the 8 oz. will work. Thanks for posting!

This salad went over in a big way on my Canada Day bbq buffet dinner; nobody guessed they were eating cottage cheese, either! It was extremely simple to prepare, looks very pretty with its pale orange colour, and disappeared fast. Since I had to buy my ingredients in Canada, I used a 500g tub of cottage cheese and the entire contents of a 1L tub of Cool Whip; this is a little more than the (imperial) recipe called for but it still worked perfectly. Great recipe; I even had to give it out twice!

I thought this was very good. I took the advice of one reviewer and used 8 oz. pineapple and cottage cheese. It turned out very nice.

This is one of my all time favorite recipes. I grew up loving it and continue to make it. This can be altered by using lf cottage cheese, ff cool whip, and sugar free jell-o (any flavor) to make the whole thing healthier (beware however that sugar free jell-o won't dissolve quite the same way - ie, use the original recipe when serving guests )
